2018 Perennial Plant Of The Year

A stunning beauty, Millennium Ornamental Onion, Allium, is adored for its profusion of flowers and ease of care. Its compact, upright clump of glossy green, thick and strappy leaves emit a slight smell of onion when crushed. In mid to late summer a profusion of large 2″, bright rosy purple, tightly rounded clusters of flowers appear on strong stems just above Millenium Allium’s attractive foliage.

A landscaper favorite! Its thick, emerald green leaf blades look great in and out of bloom, making Millenium Allium ideal for mass plantings and edging in formal and cottage gardens.

Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators adore it, and deer and rabbits leave it alone.

Plant in full sun. Add compost or other organic matter, along with slow-release fertilizer when planting. Although plants will bloom fine without fertilizer, for maximum blooms fertilize.
