Truly a cause for celebration! This ornamental onion has unique properties that really add something. First of all, it's a large-flowered onion, you know, with those big spheres (diameter up to 20 cm) packed with lilac flowers. So far, nothing new... But this Allium is compact, 60 cm, which is already great for garden combinations. Furthermore, multiple flowers (2-4) emerge from 1 bulb, which is unique for this type so far! Finally, (last but not least) the foliage of this ornamental onion stays green for a long time and is worth looking at; many large onions start with beautiful foliage, but it dies off during flowering.
Ornamental onions (or ornamental garlic) are very popular! They bloom from May, a time when the garden chairs can come out!
