Allium Christophii also known as the Star of Persia, is an award-winner, elegant ornamental onion with star-shaped flowers that are a silvery purple that foam an 8-inch-wide globe-shaped cluster that rises atop hairy leaves. It has long-lasting blooms and remains ornamental in the garden well into the Summertime. These plants have been awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society. They have a blooming season that lasts from late Spring to early Summer, grows best in full sun in rich, sandy to gritty, dry to medium moisture, well-draining soils, and will grow between 6 – 16 inches tall. A great feature of this plant is that it is also drought tolerant. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These make great cut flowers, can be used in dried floral arrangements, do well in containers, beds, and borders. Another great characteristic of this plant is that it is also low maintenance, which every busy gardener can appreciate!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
