  • Posted by gardengus (Indiana Zone 5b) on Jun 3, 2013 6:49 PM concerning plant:
    A rather tall allium with unique bell flowers, pinkish on the inside and almost maroon on the outside. Looks great in clusters of 5 or more . The bulbs multiply, but they take a long time (3+ years) in my garden to reach blooming size.
    The leaves are easy to recognize. They are flat and twisted like a spiral.
