Botanical Name: Allium schubertii
Description: It could be a flower from some alien planet!  It is a very unusual allium.  Schubertii starts with a base of broad arching leaves, then sends up strong flowers stems from 12 to 24 inches tall.  In June and July it tops these stems with huge, spidery reddish-purple flowerheads.  An attention getter in the garden and in bouquets.  It naturalizes easily and always draws interest.
