Description:

This unassuming Allium deserves a specials pot in the garden. It is pretty short, as far as alliums are concerned, almost dwarf in size and it is a real nice specimen plant requiring a location right in front of the garden, as it might get lost if planted amongst taller plants.The flowers, which are slightly scented, and the globe-shaped inflorescence (florets), are a pale greenish colour, with a hint of white, or even pink,depending on the light. The foliage looks kind of velvety, with a bit of a shimmering quality, too. Very pretty!

Height: 20 cm.
