Would you have ever thought that Alliums could display clusters of golden yellow flowers? Allium moly ((Lily Leek) does, and it does it superbly and profusely! How not to resist these upright clusters of up to 30 starry golden florets? These blooms are also nicely complemented by gray-green leaves that remain attractive for a fairly long period of time. Blooming in late spring to early summer, this spectacular Allium enjoys long-lasting blooms and remains ornamental in the garden well into summer.

• Growing up to 10 - 12 in. high (25 - 30 cm), this beauty naturalizes easily and will come back year after year!
• Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society
• Easily grown in rich, sandy to gritty, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Drought tolerant.
• Attracts butterflies, but deer ignore it!
• Stunning in beds, borders, gravel and rock gardens, city or cottage gardens. Great for coastal gardens too! Spectacular as ground cover in large sweeping drifts. For best visual impact, plant in groups (at least 10 to 15 bulbs). Excellent as cut flowers for both fresh and dried arrangements!
• To be planted in fall.

Many hundreds of Allium species exist, but only a modest few have made a name for themselves as garden plants. The ornamental onions distinguish themselves by their great diversity in color, inflorescence and flowering height. Many species bloom in early summer - just after the spring-flowering period and just before the exuberant full bloom of summer. All species can be used in the border. Certain small species are just perfect for a rock garden, and several lend themselves to naturalizing.
