Description

A slightly taller, summer-blooming variety of Allium schoenoprasum with slightly more blue foliage. Flowers are a darker, more brilliant pink than the species and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Taller foliage makes for a nice accent in the green roof meadow, adding some height and increasing the potential for biodiversity. Can retain its green foliage long into the winter months. Foliage eventually turns yellow in the coldest weather. Sold as bare root bulbs. Available as plugs as custom order. Please contact office for lead times.
