Rising on sturdy stems in late spring to early summer, these dramatic globe-shaped flowers add striking vertical interest and color to beds, borders, and cutting gardens, and they naturalize readily when planted in well-drained sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese alliums are excellent for mixed perennial borders, cottage gardens, and mass plantings, where their spherical flower heads create bold architectural texture. The blooms also perform well as cut flowers, fresh or dried, and their faded seed heads retain ornamental value into midsummer.
