Allium roseum var. bulbiferum

Allium roseum var. bulbiferum produces a long-running show of loose, 2" blush pink globes that last fully 3-4 weeks. A lovely cut flower, this dainty Onion lasts nearly as long in a vase, too.

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.
