Also known as Persian Onion, Allium Aflatunense is one of the most popular and gorgeous of all Allium species, and this outstanding perennial plant blooms with dense 4-5" diameter flower heads that are packed with violet-purple flowers and seem to float above the rest of plants in the garden on tall, sturdy leafless stems. Persian Onion starts to bloom in late spring, and its dramatic, long-lasting flowers make a nice transition from the spring to summer garden! The scented Ornamental Onion flowers are a fantastic nectar source for the honey bees and butterflies and hummingbirds are attracted to its rounded umbels too.
