Ipheion Alberto Castillo

Ipheion Alberto Castillo is vigorous, with very white starry flowers over grey green foliage smelling of onions when crushed. Longer stemmed, which raises the flowers well above the foliage and they pick well for small posies but to prevent those longer stems from flopping you must plant them in fairly good light.
