'Millenium' and 'Summer Beauty' Allium flowers - deer resistant!
'Summer Beauty' Alliums contrasted with 'Victoria Blue' Salvia in a planter- photo by Jan Johnsen |
Plant 'Millenium' or 'Summer Beauty' Alliums in the spring or summer. Both of them provide gorgeous, butterfly attracting flowers starting in July - deep green foliage, profuse display of pink to purple flowered globes. Tough, reliable and deer resistant!
Allium 'Summer Beauty' really is a summer beauty with light pink-purple globe flowers in mid-July through mid-August. The leaves are slender and deep green. It is hardy from Zone 4-9.
Allium 'Millenium' blooms about a week later and has slighter deeper purple blooms and is a bit shorter, to 12-20” tall. It is less hardy - Zones 5 - 8.

Allium 'Summer Beauty' and 'Millenium' are fool proof, blooming plants that look great with many other summer perennials like helenium and globe thistle as in photo above.
I've found alliums generally to be pretty pest resistant.
ReplyDeleteJason, I think that is why they are so great - minimum maintenance and so rewarding! and so many to choose form these days!
