Allium 'Christophii' AGM, 2/3L Pet-friendly the author and photographer boardedAllium Christophii is a compact variety of ornamental onion, with star shaped flowers held in a globe cluster during early summer. The soft lilac flowers look like sparklers, and appear to have a metallic sheen to them. A great variety for adding some soft colour to a summer border. It also makes for a great cut flower.
