(A. victorialis ARMH 7827) This unique onion has long been a favorite for its early-emerging (March) 1' tall x 3" wide, glossy green, upright paddle-shaped leaves, topped in May with a 2' tall flower spike, ending in a 2.25" wide ball of greenish white flowers. This particular selection of the widespread (Europe through Asia) A. victorialis was collected at 5000' in Northern Spain's autonomous region, Cantabria. We have grown A. victorialis for 10+ years and have yet to see a single seedling...a superb garden specimen.
