Description
Only a warm, long fall make it possible to have seeds of this Allium, which most often gets ‘frosted’ before the seeds maturation. The featured image was taken one year in November!
A very valuable, clump forming Allium, which flowers starting late August- September, depending on location. It is among the last species flowering in the garden in our temperate cold climate together with the fall crocuses. Height can vary greatly depending on how much moisture is available.
The pink flowers with exerted stamens in bright clusters are ageing to purple and remain beautiful even after drying out, most years ‘showing off’ above the snow layer. The fine, grassy looking foliage will also take nice russet shades after the weather turns cold.
Germination: the seeds usually will germinate at warm (room temp.).
