One of the tallest alliums available at 120cms. The flower head slightly larger than a tennis ball.
Comments on this photo
The compact head makes up for its smaller size. It looks very solid on its long stem. I did not support them and should have done because the weight of the rather solid flower made them top heavy and they did fall over and had to be rescued.
