An unusual, low-growing Allium, ‘Karataviense’ adds bold structure and texture at the forefront of garden borders and is great for container planting.

Large globular heads of muted creamy-lavender flowers nestle amongst fleshy, flat and glaucous leaves with red margins.  Foliage remains on the plants for most of the year, providing a long season of interest.

Stout and sturdy, purple-grey stems rise to just 20cm tall, making this heirloom Allium ideal for pots, rockeries, and gravel gardens.  Best planted near the edge of a border or container where they can’t be missed.
