Striking and architectural, Allium christophii (Star of Persia) boasts large, star-shaped lavender-silver blooms on wide, spherical heads. A landscaper’s favourite for adding structure and pollinator appeal to borders, meadows, and mixed planting schemes.

Description

Allium christophii, also known as Star of Persia, is a dazzling ornamental bulb celebrated for its massive, 20–25 cm (8–10 inch) spherical flower heads composed of hundreds of metallic lilac star-shaped florets. Blooming in late spring to early summer, this variety adds height and drama to planting schemes, drawing in pollinators and admiring glances alike.

Ideal for naturalistic borders, prairie-style planting, or gravel gardens, A. christophii thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. The dried seed heads remain ornamental long after flowering, offering extended season interest and great value in low-maintenance landscaping.
