Pink Planet Allium, Pink Planet Ornamental Onion
Allium senescens ‘Pink Planet’ (Ornamental Allium) is a semi-sterile bulbous perennial forming a compact clump of elegantly twisting, bluish-green leaves. Blooming for about 4 weeks in late summer to early fall, a profusion of large, rounded umbels, 2-3 in. across (5-7 cm), tightly packed with silver-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 garden or the front of the water-wise border.
