Add a touch of phenomenal, sparkling magic to your garden with the spectacular, huge, airy globes of metallic, silvery-amethyst, star-shaped flowers. Allium christophii, the 'Star of Persia', features incredibly delicate, open flower heads that look like breathtaking, exploding fireworks hovering above the border. This allium creates a brilliant, highly sophisticated 'see-through' effect, allowing you to plant it near the front of a bed without blocking the plants behind it. It is an absolute powerhouse for attracting wildlife, drawing in huge numbers of bees and fascinating pollinating insects throughout the early summer. The massive, spiky seed heads dry perfectly on the stem, offering phenomenal, long-lasting architectural structure that looks utterly spectacular when caught by the winter frost. Show more
