Allium….not just a Spring bulb!

Looking for a great perennial border plant? Check out Allium millennium! As you may have guessed from its picture this is a ornamental onion plant that is related to the whimsical spring blooming Allium bulb. This mid-late summer perennial bloomer puts on a beautiful purple display starting in mid-July. The tidy grass-like foliage stands about 12″ tall with the purple blooms at about 18″. It has proven to be fairly drought tolerant and the honey bees are loving them too!

Happy Gardening!
