notes
Allium Purple Sensation is a very popular, mid-height variety of ornamental onion, a cottage garden staple, which features bright, rosy violet, star-shaped flowers in densely packed globe clusters from mid-May. The strappy grey-green leaves will have already started to die back before then so plant in the middle of the border, so the umbrels can grow through other foliage.
