Allium hollandicum ‘Purple Sensation’   

Aptly named, this ornamental Allium creates quite a stir as several hundred petite, deep purple flowers squeeze into one sensational looking, baseball-sized inflorescence. A selection made by Mr. J. Bijl in 1963 to create a dark, vividly hued flower color, ‘Purple Sensation’ rises on tall beefy bare stems from a low nest of narrow, long twisting leaves that disappear around blooming time. Its strongly defined form can be repeated throughout the perennial border delivering concentrated violet punches and dynamic counterpoints to softer shapes and hues, while remaining equally delightful when seed heads appear.

Blooms May–June.

Size: 2'–3' high x 6"–8" wide; hardy to zone 4.
