Allium obliquum
Allium obliquum has blue stems to 3 feet holding sulphur yellow spheres of tiny florets. This is a rare and choice species.
Allium obliquum is unique in offering a tall-stemmed species with sulphur yellow spheres. The foliage and stems are blue. Few plants can offer the unique flower forms of ornamental onions. Every garden should have Alliums. Plant in multiples of 3, 5, 7 or more. Don’t fret when foliage starts to die back just before flowering. It’s normal. Just trim the leaves.
