Allium 'Blue Eddy'
Reminiscent of swirling eddies of water, Allium senescens ‘Blue Eddy’ is a bulbous perennial forming a very compact clump of elegantly swirling, blue-gray to gray-green leaves. From late summer to early fall, profuse, rounded umbels, 1.5 in. across (4 cm), tightly packed with pale lilac pink flowers are borne atop leafless stems just above the attractive foliage. The flowers are both long-lasting and excellent as cut flowers. A charming addition to the rock or herb gardens.
