Allium angulosum

Bright green and glossy-leaved for much of the year. Pale lilac-flowered in late summer and increasing to tight clumps in time when they visibly shimmer and hum on a warm late summer day when beset by feeding insects. Probably the most butterfly friendly plant we grow. This is a more compact but sterile clone, brilliant in every regard. Closely related to Allium senescens but these have a ridge, or keel, on the underside of the leaves. Small clumps are supplied for planting.

Planting Instructions

This Allium does best in a reasonably sunny and not too dry spot, the small clumps planted 8" (20cm) apart.
