Sometimes called the Bride’s Onion or Naples Garlic, this little charming white Allium has been a favourite at Dixter for years. Only 30cm high with green grass-like leaves in late autumn and winter, the scented clusters of white stars form decorative umbels in late spring. A hardy perennial bulb that will naturalise if given the chance. Works beautifully in unison with the hardy Begonia grandis subsp. evansiana, one following the other whilst sharing the same space – perfect succession in a semi-shaded corner. H7.
