Description

Large clusters (6"-12" in diameter) of lavender, white, pink or purple pom-poms appear in summer. These unusual flowers are on top of stems which are 12"-15" tall. These flowers are great for dried flower or fresh flower arrangements. Plant the bulbs in fall to enhance rock gardens, containers or with other leafy foliaged perennials. Allium has a slight garlic scent.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
