Allium amphibolum is a rarely seen drumstick allium hailing from Western China. It has unusual wiry stems and small, shaggy flower heads in light pink, with a sweet fragrance. Unlike many alliums, Allium amphibolum works well in the sun or light shade.
For best results, plant bulbs in fertile, well-drained soil up to three times their diameter. Grow in well-drained soil in full sun.
