Allium

14-16" tall. Charming white allium blossoms bob above tidy compact clumps of strappy glossy foliage. Its smaller stature makes it a perfect candidate for rock and herb gardens. Sweet-scented blooms make great cutflowers or dried winter arrangements whether you cut them before or after the green seed pods form.

Attracts beneficial insects with its sweet nectar yet repels an array of undesirables—slithery, winged and legged pests alike—including deer. Only if crushed will the plants smell like an onion. Adds rugged charm and vertical structure to herb and rock gardens.

Full to partial sun, soil adaptable, tolerates clay. Blooms in mid to late summer. Zone 4.

Additional Information

Flowering Onions

The large Allium genus is characterized by small six-petaled florets held in umbels—large or small, loose or tight. Sweet-smelling blooms make great fresh cutflowers or dried winter arrangements; only if crushed will they smell like onion. Alliums are deer resistant and prefer full sun and well-drained soil, but can tolerate some shade. Fertilize in early spring to promote leaf and bulb growth. Leaves may die back before or during blooming. Most types bloom in late spring to early summer, except where noted.
