Description
Allium Taobago, previously offered as Allium 'Spider', is a hybrid between Allium schubertii and Allium atropurpureum. It bears spiky, 'firework' flowerheads with star-shaped, dark purple florets with bright green centres. It's a fantastic choice for large containers and sunny borders, and works well when planted in drifts with ornamental grasses and other alliums. It also looks wonderful in a vase. Perfect cut flower.
