Allium sphaerocephalum, also referred to as the 'Drumstick' Allium, blooms in late June, producing 1" diameter flower heads. These wine-colored blooms sway in the wind on top of 24-30" sturdy stems. A magnificent plant with a long bloom time, these Allium add great interest and movement to the garden while also being deer resistant. They look amazing when planted among ornamental grasses and other low-growing perennials!

I liked the on sale price for the product I’m ordering
Really enjoyed this last spring and early summer, some lasted well into July that were shaded by a pear tree. Hoping to see them again next spring.
Ordered these Drumstick Alliums last year and was not expecting much since they are smaller, but I wanted to try some new bulbs. But when they started to grow this spring I was so surprised how they turned out! They are somewhat tall and these little heads are so rich in color and they were blooming for the longest time (maybe have to give some credit to a strange weather this year 2022, it was cool spring for a long time). Will see if they'll come back for me next year!
