Drumstick Allium
Drumstick allium is a fall-planted bulb grown for its eye-catching flower heads.
In late June and July, the flower heads appear, each composed of many tiny, reddish-purple flowers on long, upright stalks. The flower heads are about the size and shape of an egg. The thin leaves are hardly noticeable.
Plant in groups of 10 or more amongst other perennial flowers for a striking effect.
