Compact allium produces exquisite blooms
From mid to late summer, it produces tightly clustered spheres of star-shaped florets about 3" in diameter. These astonishing, lavender-purple inflorescences form atop strong 12" stems and produce honeyed nectar that is irresistible to passing butterflies, honeybees and hummingbirds. An excellent perennializer, In Orbit is a wonderful accent for the middle of a perennial bed. Its fresh-cut flowers are lovely in bouquets, and the dried allium heads are a great ingredient for homemade potpourri. This low-maintenance plant tends to be ignored by foraging deer and rabbits. Alliums are not available in ID, NV and WA.
