Allium nigrum

- Origin: Mediterranean region
- Latin: Allium nigrum
Sturdy, long-lasting and fragrant. The 3 elements for a popular ascent in the garden! This leek blooms quite early (April-June) and forms half-spherical, but still round, sturdy umbels (10 cm diameter) of white flowers with sometimes a hint of lilac and a green midrib. The finishing touch is formed by the bulbous center (ovary) of each individual flower. This center turns dark purple to black as it ripens, hence the name Black Garlic. Despite the height of 80 cm, the sturdy hollow stems do not blow over!
Ornamental onions (or Ornamental garlic) are particularly popular! They bloom from May, a time when the garden chairs can be taken outside!
