Description
Allium karataviense is a striking low-growing ornamental onion, prized for both its bold foliage and subtle, elegant flowers. Broad, blue-grey leaves form a tidy rosette, above which pale pink to silvery-lilac globes emerge in late spring. Unlike taller alliums, this variety stays compact, making it perfect for rock gardens, containers, front-of-border plantings, or architectural landscape designs.
Its early-season bloom time supports pollinators, and it pairs beautifully with low sedums, grasses, and compact perennials. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, it offers structure with minimal maintenance—an excellent choice for sustainable and climate-resilient schemes.
