Just when you thought the rock garden was winding down for the year, the flowers on the amazing Allium virgunculae ‘Alba’ burst open in early December. This delightful dwarf allium to 8″ tall is similar to the better known and slower offsetting Japanese Allium thunbergii. The tight, well-behaved clumps of thread-like foliage are rarely noticed until they burst into flower. Allium virgunculae, which typically has lavender flowers, hails from Japan’s far south Kyushu Island.
