A stunning new Allium hybrid, a cross between A. christophii and A. mcleanii with all the beauty of the former combined with the 90cm tall stem of the latter. It is new to us and to Australia but this giant onion is receiving very favourable reports in Europe and the U.S. Very large balls of soft purple flowers are held on stiff 90cm tall stems. It is reputed to increase better than others of its ilk. A spacing of 30 to 40 cm would be enough and this bulb is best planted in a spot which dries out in the summer.
