Criss and I first saw this growing in the gar­den at Charlston Farmhouse about 20 years ago. We use it in our double flower borders and the dry climate garden where, around Christmas and the turn of the new year, me­tre tall stems are topped by green golf balls which over a period of a week or so gradu­ally turn purple. As the Drumstick Allium takes up little horizontal space we plant them to flower through other perennials. A good cut flower. Sun. 100cm x 10cm.
