Alliums

Allium Bulbs (Flowering Onion)

The Allium family (the Latin word for garlic) includes onions, leeks, garlic and an array of colorful globe-shaped flowers.  They are excellent for planting in groups or in a border.  The blooms are long-lasting in water, and some have flower heads that dry very well.  Grow the shorter species at the front of a border or in a rock garden.  Many seed freely and are excellent perennializers.  Several species also have culinary uses.  Seldom affected by rodents or deer!
