Allium macranthum |
 |
|
Species from the Himalayas and China. Reportedly very late to emerge in spring; pink/purple flowers appear in a fireworks pattern in mid-summer. Stems may have a tendency to flop. Looks superficially similar to A. cernuum in photos I've found. The seedlings develop thickened, bright white roots; when I planted them out, most had a pair of them, while a few had one or three. Our first attempt to overwinter them was not successful, trying again.
