Allium Atropurpureum Medium-height Allium

bulbs
Allium atropurpureum
Late spring to early summer blooms.

Dark burgundy-red to purple florets with nearly black centers and stems form broad 2" flowerheads, like little goblets of port wine for the fairies. Beloved by pollinators; best planted en masse. Plant alongside white Alliums like Graceful Beauty and Mt. Everest for striking contrast. Wonderful cutflower. Species native from Turkey through the Balkans, this heirloom has been hosting Goth pollinator parties since the 1800s.

Additional Information

Flowering Onions

The large Allium genus is characterized by small six-petaled florets held in umbels—large or small, loose or tight. Sweet-smelling blooms make great fresh cutflowers or dried winter arrangements; only if crushed will they smell like onion. Alliums are deer resistant and prefer full sun and well-drained soil, but can tolerate some shade. Fertilize in early spring to promote leaf and bulb growth. Leaves may die back before or during blooming. Most types bloom in late spring to early summer, except where noted.
