Allium schubertii
Allium schubertii is a truly dramatic ornamental onion, known for its large, firework-like flower heads made up of star-shaped pink-purple florets held on stems of varying lengths. The striking architectural blooms appear in late spring to early summer, creating a bold focal point in borders and adding strong visual interest to planting schemes.
Ideal for sunny, well-drained positions, this distinctive allium works beautifully in gravel gardens, prairie-style planting, or mixed perennial borders. The dried seed heads remain decorative after flowering, adding extended seasonal structure and making excellent additions to dried flower arrangements.
