there are many species and varieties of allium. I have 3 purple ones that follow on from each other. A afflatuense, A purple sensation and the A cristophii. they are different heights too. there are large white ones too.
they are all easy to grow. i buy bulbs in the autumn and pot them in 3" pots in a gritty compost. i keep them in the unheated greenhouse and then plant them out in April/May. the leaves often turn yellow and die back before the flowers open. this is normal.

just seen the A cristophii on a special offer from a mail order catologue very tempting

will probably d this after my hols
got to get organisd
