Allium 'Millenium' produces compact clumps of flat, glossy leaves and a profusion of sturdy stems supporting rosy violet, globe-shaped 2" flowers in summer. Well-behaved in the garden and ignored by deer and rabbits, perennial 'Millenium' earns a place in the front of the border where it will attract pollinators all season long. An exceptional selection from noted Allium breeder Mark McDonough. Awarded Perennial Plant of the Year® by the Perennial Plant Association.
The genus Allium (the Latin means "garlic") offers colorful, distinctive, and long-lasting forms that are standouts in the early summer garden. Alliums are sun-lovers and prefer well-drained, even sandy, soil. Deer, mice, chipmunks, and related predators generally avoid this group, so you can plant with impunity. Tuck them among clumps of summer-flowering perennials where the Alliums' withering foliage will be hidden by the expanding perennials. For more information, click Growing Guide.
