We planted this allium mixture in our test and show gardens last year, and from mid spring to early summer—two months straight—we had masses of purple, violet, white and lilac flowers. Alliums are amazingly beneficial flowers—easy to grow for height interest in beds and borders, and you can either remove the flower heads for dried arrangements or leave them alone for winter interest. Pollinators love them, but deer and plant-eating rodents will keep their distance from them. Alliums are not available in ID and WA. <br><i>A. aflatunense 'Purple Sensation' A. 'Purple Rain', A.
