Allium unifolium bears clusters of long-lasting pink, shaggy, bell-shaped flower heads over strappy foliage, in late-spring and early summer. It's the perfect choice for growing in alpine beds or at the front of a sunny border. It also works well in pots.
For best results, plant Allium unifolium bulbs in fertile, well-drained soil up to three times their diameter. Grow in well-drained soil in full sun.
