Rosy Garlic

For lovers of soft hues, this soft pink ornamental onion is a "must"! Such a color will truly leave you speechless, for example, in combination with blue and white. Height 35 cm, the flower head is loose in form but sturdy enough and appears in May-June. Plant a generous bed (not expensive!) in combination with, for example, Camassia. Plant the bulbs relatively deeper (5 cm) and give them a sunny, well-drained, moist spot.
All parts of this elegant, pink-flowering onion are edible: 1) the bulbs have a refined garlic flavor, which is excellent both raw and cooked, 2) the leaves can be finely chopped and added to salads, offering a fresh taste between onion and garlic, and 3) the flowers provide a finishing touch to meals and also have a lovely garlic flavor!

Ornamental onions (or Alliums) are very popular! They bloom from May, a time when garden chairs can be brought out!
