A bizarre and eye-catching Allium, Hair produces wild, tangled, wiry blooms that add movement and texture to borders and mixed naturalised plantings. Ideal for quirky, low-maintenance designs.
Allium vineale ‘Hair’ is a true conversation starter and a favourite among adventurous landscapers. This peculiar ornamental onion features a tuft of twisted, greenish-purple thread-like petals that burst from a central maroon base—giving the appearance of botanical bed-head. Its unruly charm makes it perfect for wildflower meadows, prairie plantings, and pollinator-focused schemes.
Not only is ‘Hair’ drought-tolerant and reliable in a wide range of soils, but it also blends beautifully with ornamental grasses and upright perennials. Flowering in early to midsummer, it offers visual interest at a time when many spring bulbs are fading. A firm favourite for adding whimsy to commercial and public gardens, it thrives in full sun and well-drained conditions.
