Allium Christophii...

Lovely. I have been won over by GoY photos of alliums and have tried some for the first time this year - but no flowers yet.

These alliums are lovely, think i may try this one next year

I have this one..well there were three,but I put them in a pot,the 2nd year,and one rotted.so the remaining two are back in a border..with some large white ones ,new last year...ready for opening :o) This Christophii is a nice Dd..I used to dry them for indoors..

A.christopii has great foliage too if you ask me!

Love them.

Thanks all, looks much better this year, really do not know why?

Best planted in Autumn, for flowering in April/May following...Had a good first show DD this year, going to buy more nearer to Autumn...and I've left the seed head on both Christophi and Mont Blanc...

I am going to leave the seed heads on, it still looks lovely and I swear it has grown!!

Yes they look quite ornamental...
