Alliums

The round-headed garlic draws attention with its striking flowers, which form unmistakable dark purple and burgundy dots. It is a summer-blooming variety that reaches a height of about seventy to one hundred centimeters. Its egg-shaped inflorescences, three to five centimeters in size, are densely packed and appear from June to August. Its leaves resemble chives in shape, but it is typical for summer garlic that they begin to naturally yellow and wither during the blooming period. The deep color of the flowers stands out perfectly in mixed prairie plantings alongside delicate ornamental grasses. Furthermore, the dense inflorescences act as a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Anyone who creates home arrangements will love this plant. The firm, long stems are excellent for cutting into fresh bouquets, and the heads retain their shape and color after drying for use in dried arrangements. The entire plant is fully edible and completely resistant to common diseases.

It pairs beautifully with shorter ornamental grasses and sun-loving perennials, providing an interesting color contrast.

Fragrant purple flowers attract many pollinators to the garden and enliven the space just as early spring bulbs are fading and summer perennials are just waking up. 'Globemaster' is also a great choice for creating bouquets because the stems do not contain the typical strong aroma and they remain fresh in a vase for quite a long time. The whole flowers and young parts of the plant are surprisingly edible and can be used for original food decoration.
