This heirloom variety's colour is especially dazzling in contrast to pale pink peonies or lighter-hued alliums. Putting on its best show in the sizzling heat of summer, it thrives in especially hot climates in well-drained soil. Grab a few of these long-lasting blooms to spice up a cut-flower display, or make an exceptional dried-flower arrangement. Wonderful perennializer. Alliums are not available in ID and WA.
