Allium rotundum Bulb

Allium rotundum is a distinctive wild onion species native to parts of southern Europe and the Mediterranean, known for its compact, spherical flower heads composed of small, star-shaped florets in pale pink to lilac tones. Blooming in mid to late summer, the flowers are borne on slender, upright stems above narrow, grass-like foliage. This species thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, sandy or rocky soils, making it well-suited to rock gardens, borders, and naturalistic planting schemes. Allium rotundum is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, adding subtle colour and texture to dry, sunny garden areas. The flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting biodiversity. Its delicate form and late flowering period make it a valuable addition to diverse garden designs, especially those favouring native or Mediterranean-style planting.
