Allium aflatunense
PERSIAN ONION
Extremely hardy and tough perennials, these globe allium always amaze us how they return, more and more beautiful, each year without any pampering or care above what mother nature provides! Plants grow to 4 feet (48"/120cm) tall, and produce large purple globes, each globe comprising hundreds of small flowers. The flowers are loved by pollinators, and provide early-season nectar. Each plant produces a bulb that remains in the ground to produce future plants. The globes can also be dried to provide interesting dried arrangements (see images)! These are ornamental onion only.
