Allium nigrum 'Jade Eyes'

Outstanding flower heads, many small white flowers, greenish midveins and striking jade green eyes. Great cut flowers. Suitable for dried flowers; pest repellent. Late blooming ornamental onions, that perform excellent with early blooming perennials. Alliums are a great transitional flower, providing drama in the late spring and early summer garden. Planted in groups, they add drama, height and an airy lightness to a mixed perennial border of iris, peonies, bleeding hearts, Asiatic lilies, daylilies and hosta. The shorter Alliums are ideal clustered in rock gardens or at the front of a border. All Alliums give weeks of bloom. Fresh cut or dried, they are a flower arranger's delight. They are easy to grow as long as they have very well drained soil and plenty of sun. They multiply and increase in beauty each year, providing more and more stems and blooms for years to come. And you will be glad to know that critters that dig up and eat other bulbs in your garden won't go near them.
