Allium 'Little Sapphire' is a distinctive ornamental onion that prolongs your garden’s bloom period from summer into early fall. It features dense clusters of deep purple flowers perched above tidy mounds of striking grey-green foliage, growing 12 to 15 inches tall. Its unique spherical flower heads, composed of numerous small florets, offer a compelling contrast to other perennial shapes. Ideal for rock or herb gardens, mass plantings, borders, containers, and floral arrangements. This summer-blooming, non-bulbous variety attracts pollinators while resisting deer and rabbits.
