Allium 'Windy City' (Ornamental Onion)

Allium ‘Windy City’ (Ornamental Onion)

A compact ornamental onion with round, violet-purple flower clusters that bloom in midsummer. Each 2-inch flower globe rises on dark purple stems, adding extra color and contrast even before the blooms open. Its tidy, clumping habit makes it a great choice for smaller gardens, border edges, rock gardens, and containers.

‘Windy City’ is very drought tolerant once established and holds up well in sunny, well-drained areas. After blooming, the seed heads remain attractive and can provide winter interest in the garden.
