Allium schoenoprasoides

Superficially similar to A. schoenoprasum, with a similarly shaped, compact umbel of rich purple-pink on a stem some 30cm tall, though this has a true bulb without a rhizome attached and narrow, flattened leaves.

Not-difficult as a garden plant, unlifted and allowed to clump in a well-drained spot.

Horticultural stock, originally from Kyrgyzstan, Fergana range, Kugart valley.
