Allium 'Millenium'

Commonly known as an ornamental onion, ‘Millenium’ is an easy, carefree perennial that features stunning rose-purple flowers. Blooms arrive from mid to late summer (July - August) and have 2" globe-like in spheres. The flowers can extend up to 18-20" tall over the clumping grass-like glossy green leaves. 

This low maintenance, easy to grow perennial prefers full sun to part shade and average to dry garden soil. Butterflies are attracted to the blooms while the plants are also deer resistant and drought tolerant. All parts of the plant have an "oniony" fragrance, but plants are for ornamental uses only. 

Plants will naturalize by self-seeding, perfect for naturalized gardens! Deadhead flowers before seed sets to help control any unwanted spread. Foliage persists past flowering into late summer before dying back. Also works well when planted at the front of sunny borders, to edge pathways, in cottage and rock gardens. Eryngium and Echinacea make great companion plants.
