The burgundy colour and the flower crown make this allium truly unique! It flowers in July and with its up to 100 cm tall flower stems it does very well in places at the back of the bed. This variety of allium is characterised by its striking flower shape. Each flower consists of a multitude of small star-shaped inflorescences that form a dense spherical shape. The bright red colour of the flowers fades slightly over time and takes on a beautiful pink hue. The allium is also excellent for wilding, so you will enjoy it for years to come. With a height of growth, this ornamental allium is also ideal as a cut flower. Its unique appearance and intense colour make it a popular decorative element for bouquets and flower arrangements.
