Allium lusitanicum- Summer Beauty Ornamental Onion

This ornamental onion is beautiful throughout the seasons. One of the first plants to emerge in spring, its neat glossy green foliage is attractive from spring through fall. In mid-summer, pink round flowers emerge just above the foliage and add a touch of color to the mid-summer garden. The flowers themselves are sterile. Once they fade and dry, they add a nice structural element to the winter garden. A tough, easy to grow plant that will not be eaten by deer, rabbits and rodents, and is quite tolerant of drought conditions and hot weather.
