Allium Sphaerocephalon is a bulbous perennial that is ornamentally grown for its early summer bloom of rose-purple to pink flower heads. Alliums are in the same family as garlic, onions, chives, and shallots. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include them in their ornamental gardening plans, as it conjures up images of supermarket produce. But because good garden designs are often made up of different shapes, Alliums rounded blooms make for high drama and interest in the garden. The Allium group gets more popular annually, with over 300 species to choose from. They amaze everyone, and few plants create this kind of wow in the garden. We will be adding many new varieties shortly. This plant is native throughout Europe to the Caucasus, Iran, and northern Africa. Cylindrical, hollow, grassy, gray-green leaves to 14" long-form a foliage clump in spring. In late spring, sturdy slender flowering stems rise topped with egg-shaped flower heads. Each flower head is a tight, dense, clover-like cluster of tiny florets that emerge deep green but mature to rose-purple. Flower heads resemble the flower heads of some clovers. Flowers lack fragrance.
