A large genus of bulbous plants, most of which have a distinctive smell of garlic (onions, leeks, chives, and garlic are all members). However, many are worth growing for their flowers and, unless the foliage is broken, the odour is seldom offensive. Easily raised from seed.
Description:
This is a superb cultivar, actually a hybrid between A.stipitatum and A.aflatunense. Giving vigorous plants, it produces in late spring long-lasting, six inch spheres of snowballs, each containing hundreds of pure white flowers. These are pleasantly fragrant, attractive to bees and butterflies but repugnant to rabbits, squirrels and deer. They make a good cut flower. Easy and prolific. 3½ ft. Packet of 14 seeds. (Please note that we supply seeds and not bulbs of this bulbous plant.)
