Allium Millenium PT

Millenium Ornamental Onion features bold balls of lightly-scented lilac purple flowers with purple overtones at the ends of the stems in mid summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive glossy sword-like leaves remain dark green in color throughout the season.

Millenium Ornamental Onion is an open herbaceous perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other garden plants with finer foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
