Allium Atropurpureum is found in cultivated ground and dry open spaces throughout the Balkans. As most of the other Alliums, this bulb likes to be planted in not too heavy soil. It is an excellent cut flower. Plant them where they can wander at will, they naturalize well in ornamental grasses. This variety is able to reach 80 cm - 31 inches in height and it has strong stems. It produces small semicircular shaped dark purple-red with a very dark purple ovary (centre) almost black flowers early summer.
Will perform best when planted in full sun. Requires adequate moisture, but never too soggy. Has hardly leaves.
