Purple Sensation Allium
Purple Sensation allium is a very easy ornamental onion to grow. In mid-summer, spheres of rich purple flowers, each about the size of a tennis ball, bloom on top of strong stalks. The flowers are very uniform, spherical, and tidy-looking.
The leaves are hardly noticeable, so they work well planted behind other perennials with more attractive leaves.
Plant in masses of 10 or more for a striking visual effect.
