Allium cyathophorum var. farreri

This is a Chinese species with 12"-15" stems and good purple flowers borne on numerous scapes late spring and early summer above the stoutly grassy foliage. Stout compared to some of the finer textured Alliums anyway. This has been very easy and appreciates summer water as it is not one of the xeric bulbous types. This self-sows just enough and has not been a pest at all but the volunteer plants have simply taken the planting from intentional to natural.
