Allium ‘Millenium’

Product Details

Allium ‘Millenium’ produces compact clumps of flat, glossy leaves and a profusion of sturdy stems supporting rosy violet, globe-shaped 2″ flowers in summer. Well-behaved in the garden and ignored by deer and rabbits, perennial ‘Millenium’ earns a place in the front of the border where it will attract pollinators all season long. An exceptional selection from noted Allium breeder Mark McDonough. Awarded by the Perennial Plant Association.

The genus Allium (the Latin means “garlic”) offers colorful, distinctive, and long-lasting forms that are standouts in the early summer garden. Alliums are sun-lovers and prefer well-drained, even sandy, soil. Deer, mice, chipmunks, and related predators generally avoid this group, so you can plant with impunity. Tuck them among clumps of summer-flowering perennials where the Alliums’ withering foliage will be hidden by the expanding perennials. For more information, click Growing Guide.
