Allium cristophii (often misspelled as christophii) is a species with blue-purple flowers. It is native to central Turkey, northern Iran, and Turkmenistan. It widely cultivated. In cultivation, I put the plants into a dry summer dormancy after flowers/seeds have developed. When winter comes around, even if water is available, the bulbs will only make roots and will not emerge until spring. The name of this giant Allium describes it--huge 6 inches lilac-purple heads on very sturdy stems.
Like all alliums, "Round & Purple" is best planted in clumps of 10 or more bulbs to create a stunning and unusual effect in the late spring garden. "Round & Purple" alliums should be planted in a sheltered location to protect the blooms from strong winds.
