Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Allium sphaerocephalon (Amaryllidaceae), known as drumstick allium, is native to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Growing 50 to 80 cm tall, it bears a compact, egg-shaped summer umbel (June–July), pale green at first and ripening to deep wine-red-purple. The fine foliage withers before flowering. Rich in nectar, it attracts many pollinators. Grow in full sun in well-drained soil; it naturalises readily in a flowering meadow.
