Products › Autumn planted bulbs to flower in the Spring › Allium › Allium unifolium

A North West coast American plant, first described in 1863, from the higher parts of California and Oregon. It was not particularly well named as it has more than one leaf.  The flower is rather papery and for this reason quite long lasting. The colour is sugar pink, with 10 or more flowers forming the umbel. The flowering height is about 10" (25cm), over leaves which are desiccating at flowering time. It requires a sunny site, and a drier one.

Planting instructions

Close planted, about 2" (5cm)  apart in sunny and drier situations about 2" (5cm) deep.  Flowering May/June
