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.
