Plant Type
Small
Also known as
Drumsticks, Roundhead Leek, Round-Headed Allium, Ornamental Onion
Allium sphaerocephalon, aka "Drumstick allium," could also be called "Chameleon allium" because it changes color! The egg-shaped blooms start out green, and then change to pink and then to reddish-purple. Drumstick alliums grow to about 18 inches tall and bloom toward the end of June. They are super versatile; you can grow them in containers indoors, and they are great in dried flower arrangements! Like all alliums, Drumsticks are part of the onion family, and their telltale scent keeps deer and other critters away.
