As some members recently pointed out we do get mis-sold by GC sometimes. Last Autumn these were in a packet labelled 'Allium ostrowskianum' when they came up this year they were not what I expected too pale and a bell shape flower. Many thanks to Owdboggy for finding me the right name. Alas he cautioned me to, because some forms of these have bulbils in the flower heads and spread like fury. So I guess I will not be getting the white one too.
