Pink Jewel Allium 25 Seeds

Allium spp.

Pink Jewel Allium is a beautiful ornamental onion prized for its rounded clusters of soft pink, star-shaped flowers held atop slender stems. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the delicate globes create a striking display in borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings.

These graceful flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects while also being naturally resistant to deer and rabbits. The blooms are excellent for fresh or dried flower arrangements and add elegant structure to garden beds.
