Allium Glitterbug Bee’s Knees
Allium Bee's Knees is an ornamental chive with masses of light purple, spherical-shaped flowers well above green foliage.
Allium Glitterbug Bee’s Knees blooms in mid to late summer with masses of light purple, golf ball sized flower heads on stems 10-15 inches high above the shiny green strap-like foliage. Ornamental onions provide a flower display unlike most other perennials with numerous small florets held in delightful spheres that are useful for contrasting with other flower shapes in the garden. Awesome in the rock or herb garden, in mass plantings (even as a ground cover), at the front of the border, in containers, and in the vase. This is a non-bulbous cultivar that blooms in summer. Attracts bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbit resistant. Cultivar name ‘Nonseenk’
