I have had this for over 20 years.  Originally from Jack Drake as a single bulb.  I used to grow it un-protected outside in a raised bed but it suffered badly in our damp conditions and it nearly died out.  I now have it planted in a raised bed in an unheated alpine house and it grows very well.  Generally fails to set seed.

Yours Mike, is like one I had as seed back in 1966 from the ACW (Albury, Cheese, Watson) expedition to Turkey. At that time it came as Allium species. Then I understand it was labelled as A. olympicum but later as something else, I never found out quite what. It is very low like yours, that lovely pink and the foliage is bluish and almost prostrate, lying coiled on the trough surface but almost gone over by the time the flowers open. Mine does set a little seed but the seedlings are usually yellow-flowered and I take them to be hybrids with the nearby A. flavum minor. Like that one, it is sweetly scented, the flowers, not the foliage or bulbs which are typically onion. If anyone would comment on this, I'd be pleased.

Mike,

That has to be one of the nicest Alliums I've ever seen.  Such a good dense head of flowers.  Beautiful! 8)

Mike and Lori what wonderful Alliums - the A. kurtzianum is particularly desirable - I will definitely be on the lookout like others on this forum of seeds of this one which should grow here.

This one is flowering at the moment - discussed it earlier here as I was surprised that it had survived the winter. Is it Allium nigrum?

Stephen,

I agree,

Stephen, it would be great to see some of your garden edibles growing together - I imagine they must look fantastic.  I love herbs and salad leaves and often grow them in between other plants to enjoy and pick!

I'll try to post a few general pictures of my edible garden chaos on the Edible Alpines thread in the next few days...

Lovely, Simon.  Rather different for an Allium?  Nice striping.

It had been flowering a few days before I took the picture and it was only then I saw the stripes. First year from seed too  :)
