Allium christophii
at Digging Dog
Star of Persia
Ornamental Onion
Our selections are embellished versions of the common culinary bulbs. Prospering in a sunny, well drained site, these pest resistant Alliums add flair to the garden, your favorite container, or an arrangement; they are attractive either fresh or dried. Allium christophii 
As the straplike leaves die off, Allium
christophii sends up stout stems topped by sculptural
blossoms. The spherical heads, an airy array of delicate
amethyst stars, span nearly 10 in., and are almost too
big and too beautiful to be real. Breathtaking in
borders and bouquets, Star of Persia’s
fawn-colored seed heads dry perfectly. Plant a drift in a
well drained spot and surround with the leafy, long
lasting foliage of Geranium ‘Buxton’s
Variety’. This Allium withstands both deer
and rodents in our garden.
Blooms June. Size: 2' high x 8"–10" wide; hardy to zone 4. Allium christophii (P-0824)
Each $6.75
