Allium sphaerocephalon 1G

(Round-Headed Garlic)

Distinctive drumstick allium producing tight, egg-shaped heads that mature from green to rich wine-purple. Slender stems weave easily through grasses and perennials, bringing midsummer punctuation and long-lasting interest in fresh and dried arrangements.
