Allium karataviense: Tulip like leaves…
The next Onion flower on my list of Allium Flowers is my second best favorite: Allium Karataviense or Turkestan Onion. This onion flower is blooming in June, so that means it is blooming now in Australia because it’s almost summer there.
It’s only 20 cm (about 8 inch) high and especially the blue-green leaves remind me from time to time to leaves of tulips. In our local florist shop, it is sold as Ivory Queen Cultivar. The plant and flowers look lovely in your garden when you surround them with stones.
I love to grow mine in a pot in full sun and throw some big pebbles on the top. It’s cute to see this little plant attracting bees and butterflies.
