Allium 'White Empress'
Allium 'White Empress' produces globes of large, bright white flowers in early summer, which are a magnet for bees and other pollinators. It makes an excellent cut flower.
The long, linear leaves die back before the flowers appear. Allium 'White Express' is not fully hardy and in colder regions should be mulched or planted in pots and moved to a frost free area in winter.
