The late spring candelabra bulb, which flowers all through May and June — and like its cousin, the allium, has splendid architectural seedheads and is a magnet for bees and butterflies
Allium petals are edible, you can scatter them on salads. We use the more delicate types like cowanii and unifolium most often at Perch Hill.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
