Allium nigrum

Allium nigrum

Vigorous and large, showy, white, spectacular blooms

A beautiful old 1762 heirloom with large, 4-5" wide, dense, round, composite flowers of white with green ovaries. Naturalizes well and reliably re-blooms. Makes a wonderful cut flower, with none of the oniony smell that other alliums may have. Grows to 24-30" high, and is beloved by pollinators. Alliums are deer, rabbit, and rodent resistant.

Does not ship internationally.
