Description
Allium canadense
Height x Spread: 25cm x 30cm
The individual light pink flowers on this variety form a sphere like a starburst. The foliage is narrow and mid-green, having a grass-like appearance, with the flowers held well above.
This little Allium is ideally suited for the gravel garden or front of border in a very sunny position, where it will attract insect pollinators. The plant should be treated like a normal perennial and divided up after flowering by breaking off the bulbils at the sides.
