Allium schoenoprasum 'Rising Star' - 2026

Allium schoenoprasum 'Rising Star' is an ornamental chive cultivar prized for its vibrant, spherical clusters of rich purple flowers that rise elegantly above fine, grass-like foliage. Blooming from late spring to early summer, the flowers attract bees and other pollinators, adding both colour and ecological value to herb gardens, borders, or containers. Its compact, clumping habit makes it suitable for edging or mass planting, while the edible leaves can be used to enhance salads, soups, and other dishes. Easy to grow in well-drained soil, it is hardy and low-maintenance, thriving in full sun while tolerating partial shade. This cultivar combines culinary utility with a striking floral display, making it a versatile addition to any garden.
