Allium Karataviense – Blue Tongue Leek also known as Turkistan Onion or Ornamental Onion, is an Asian species of Onion in the Amaryllis family. It is an herbaceous, bulb-forming species that produces a basal rosette of wide, arching leaves with large, thick, bluish green, reddish flushed foliage. The flowers are large and a lilac to pink color and have a mild fragrance! It has a blooming season that ranges from April to May, grows best in full sun with dry, sandy, gritty, average loamy, well-draining soil, and will grow up to 10 inches tall. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. It is important to note that these should be for ornamental use only as this plant has poisonous parts. These do well in rock gardens, and also in beds and borders in the garden.

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!!!!
