Allium canadense 'White Flag' (White Flag Onion)

SunZone: 5-9, guessing 15" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! (aka: A. canadensis f. florosum) This wonderful allium is an introduction Dr. Thad Howard discovered in 1985 near Waco, TX. This particular plant stood out in a large patch of typical A. canadense because of the much larger, showier flower heads. Upon close examination, Dr. Howard found this selection did not contain the weedy bulbils of typical A. canadense. The narrow green leaves composing the 18" wide clump are topped in mid-May (NC) with a mass of 2" wide flower heads, each filled with small white flowers. Our 5-year-old clump has over 100 flower heads. The plants go dormant in midsummer and re-emerge in November. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
