Description
| Allium forrestii is a petite, high-altitude species that brings a splash of vivid color to alpine and rock gardens. Emerging in late spring, its slender, grass-like leaves form a low tuft, followed by short stems topped with tight clusters of deep purple, starry flowers. Native to the mountains of western China, it thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, where its compact form and jewel-toned blooms add subtle brilliance to crevices and gravel beds. Hardy and drought-tolerant, it’s a quiet standout among the smaller ornamental onions, best appreciated up close. |
