2-inch blooms are formed by tightly packed starry florets in a deep maroon with nearly black hearts. Both striking and refined in its appearance, Allium Atropurpureum makes a definite statement in the summer garden. Gorgeous paired with peonies in pale pink or white, and a natural to be planted with Allium Mount Everest. Very handsome grown in clumps. Thrives in hottest climates in well-drained soil. Performs best with summer heat. Delight your neighbors and local butterflies with this addition to your garden!
