'Silver Spring'
Allium
Allium ‘Silver Spring’ reaches 24 to 30 inches tall, producing elegant, rounded umbels of creamy‑white florets each marked with a deep rose‑purple eye that intensifies as the bloom matures. The flowers open in late spring to early summer, drawing bees and other pollinators while maintaining strong deer resistance and excellent drought tolerance once established. Thriving in full sun and well‑drained soil, this variety brings a refined, bicolor accent to mixed borders, gravel gardens, and late‑spring perennial plantings, where its airy structure adds both movement and contrast. Product of Israel.
