Alliums are in the same family as garlic, onions, chives and shallots. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include them in their ornamental gardening plans, as it conjures up images of supermarket produce. Alliums rounded blooms make for high drama and interest in the garden because good garden designs are often made up of different shapes. The Allium group gets more popular annually, from over 300 species to choose. They amaze everyone and few plants create this kind of wow in the garden. We will be adding many new varieties shortly. Allium Purple Rain is known for it's huge, round, purple 6 in. Dia flower heads. Attracts wildlife such as bees and butterflies and like most alliums make for an excellent cut flower. 1 of a kind. Good to pair with our Allium Purple Sensation, which blooms earlier in the season. The leaves will wither away before it flowers. Bursts of color much like fireworks.
