Common Name: Drumstick Allium, Wild Garlic, Ornamental Onion, Allium sphaerocephalon
Allium sphaerocephalon, commonly called drumstick allium, is a bulbous perennial that is ornamentally grown for its early summer bloom of rose-purple to pink flower heads. Cylindrical, hollow, grassy, gray-green leaves form a foliage clump in spring. In late spring, sturdy slender flowering stems are tall and topped with egg-shaped flower heads in an impressive early summer bloom.
Bulbs require well drained soil. Will not perform well if soil holds too much water. Add sand or grit to the bottom of the hole to improve drainage.
