And although its stems are not very long, it is also excellent for cutting.

Česnek giganteum, latinsky Allium giganteum, je nepřehlédnutelná trvalka, která v záhonu funguje jako dokonalý architektonický prvek. Cibuli stačí na podzim zasadit do půdy. Na jaře z ní vyraší šedozelené aromatické listy a během května a června se na pevných stoncích vysokých metr až metr a půl objeví obrovská kulovitá květenství. Tyto koule září v tónech fialové, růžové a lila barvy a přirozeně přitahují pohledy všech. V zahradě okrasný česnek výborně doplní smíšené trvalkové záhony. Skvěle vypadá, když vykukuje mezi okrasnými trávami, které zároveň milosrdně zakryjí jeho listy. Je to velký magnet pro včely a motýly. Květy najdou uplatnění i u vás doma v jarních kyticích a obrovskou výhodou je, že jsou dokonce jedlé.
