Allium senescens 'Summer Peek-a-Boo' 23W33 German Garlic E1-
Allium senescens 'Summer Peek-a-Boo' 23W33 German Garlic E1- (Diblik) German Garlic, Mature plant size: 12x24in., PURPLE, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW31, In Garden Bed E1 for 105 DAYS (Romence). Planted in 2023.
Richard Hawke: Summer Peek-a-Boo® (Allium ‘MGsmmpkb13’) is a sport of ‘Summer Beauty’ that has a tidy compact habit with flowers perched on the foliage rather than rising above like its predecessor. The light purple flowers, in 2-inch spheres, smother the dark green strappy leaves for about a month in midsummer; minor leaf desiccation was noted periodically, but flowers masked the damaged tips. In our garden, the neat clumps were 18 inches tall and twice as wide. (I said it is compact, not dwarf!) To me, the two cultivars complement each other more than compete, although side by side, ‘Summer Beauty’ looks wilder
