Allium ‘Millenium’ A truly impressive hybrid Ornamental Onion from Mark McDonough considered to be the best available in years. Compact upright clump of glossy, thick, green leaves with 5cm (2″) rose-purple ball clusters appearing just above the foliage on strong stems in mid to late summer. Easy to grow. Leaves have a slight onion smell when crushed. Flowers are attractive to butterflies. This looks best when combined with a bushy, low-growing perennial to hide the withering onion leaves at blooming time; hardy Cranesbill Geraniums are an excellent companion. The fleshy bulbs may be lifted and divided after several years, best done after the leaves wither.Optimal Growing ConditionsSun Exposure: Full SunSoil Type: Normal or Sandy Soil pH: Soil Moisture: Care Level: Appearance and Characteristics Height: Spread: Flower Color: Blooming Time: Foliage Color: |
