Alliums may be common in cottage gardens, but this one is extraordinary.

Insights
A wonderful perennial for a contemporary look, and suitable for planting in containers or a prairie-style garden, although it may need some protection in a harsh winter. The flowers and the seed-heads are superb for flower arranging (if dried they last for years – and they are especially dramatic sprayed silver!), making this a good all-rounder for your garden.
