Allium atropurpureum
Purple garlic, Latin name Allium atropurpureum, originally traveled to us from the sunny regions of the Balkans. At first glance, it captures attention with its exceptionally dark, deep burgundy color, which acts as a perfect contrast in the garden to lighter perennials and ornamental grasses. During May and June, striking semi-spherical inflorescences composed of tiny star-shaped flowers bloom on sturdy stems reaching sixty to ninety centimeters in height. They look beautiful, emit a pleasant fragrance, and attract bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators from afar. After flowering, the plant gradually goes dormant in the ground, so it is ideal to combine it with species that will subtly fill its space over the summer. The flowers also stand out in summer bouquets, where they remain fresh for many days. You can also dry them or leave them in the bed through the winter, as their snow-covered silhouettes create a magical sight. Additionally, the flowers are edible and make a great garnish for dishes.
