Add item to quote to see pricing

Allium 'Globemaster' is a unique perennial that adds a touch of dramatic flair to any landscape. With its towering height of 2-3 feet, this plant proudly showcases volleyball-sized clusters of star-shaped, deep violet flowers that make a striking display from late spring to early summer. Unlike some less enduring blooms, the Globemaster's tight formation of flowers maintains its vibrant charm, gracefully transitioning into an architectural spectacle even after the initial color fades. The glossy, strap-shaped green foliage acts as a brilliant foil to the blossoms, underlining the plant's visual appeal. As enticing as 'Globemaster' is to the human eye, it's equally inviting to bees and butterflies while successfully deterring deer, thanks to its characteristic onion fragrance. With its drought-tolerant nature and full-sun preference, this robust ornamental onion is more than just a pretty face — it's a versatile, hardy hero with a lasting presence in your garden.
