Allium 'Mary Begle' 23W33 German Garlic S1- (Allium senescens 'Mary Begla') German Garlic, Mature plant size: 1x1ft., clusters of lavender flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 5-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW30, In Garden Bed S1 for 49 DAYS (MSU). Planted in 2023.
Missouri Botanical Garden:Allium senescens, commonly known as German garlic or mountain garlic, is an ornamental onion that typically produces 4-9 grass-like, somewhat flattened, broad linear green leaves (1/4” to 1/2” wide) which rise in a dense clump to 6-12” tall. Leaves are semi-evergreen in warm winter climates, but will typically disappear in cool to cold winter climates as soon as fall temperatures dip below 25°F. Hollow, leafless, unbranched, 2-angled or 2-winged flowering scapes rise above the foliage clump in mid-summer to as much as 24” tall, each scape bearing a single terminal globose umbel (to 1” across) of 20-30 tiny pale pink to purple florets. Flowers typically bloom from mid to late summer, sometimes into early fall. German garlic is native to forests, dry stony slopes, steppes, saline meadows and gravelly places from western Europe across northern Asia to Siberia, Mongolia, Manchuria, China and Korea. Although all parts of this plant have an oniony smell and taste when cut or bruised, this species is considered to be an ornamental and is not usually used for culinary purposes.

Missouri Botanical Garden:'Serendipity' features blue-tinged foliage and was discovered as a sport of the hybrid ornamental onion Allium 'Millenium'. Globe-shaped inflorescences of purple flowers reaching 1.5-2" in diameter are held above the foliage on sturdy stems in mid to late summer. The flowers are suitable for fresh cut arrangements. Mature clumps will reach up to 1.75' tall and 1.5' wide. Bulb rot may occur in overly moist soils. Watch for mildew, rust and leaf spots. Thrips are an occasional problem. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid this plant.

Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Blue Eddy' was named for the way its blue-gray to gray-green whorls of foliage resemble swirling eddies of water. It was bred by Mark McDonough from a selection of Allium senescens ‘Glaucum’ and was introduced in 2004. From late summer to fall, it has round 1.5 in. clusters of lavender pink flowers. 'Blue Eddy' grows 0.5 to 1 ft. in height and spread.

Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Millenium', commonly called allium, is a bulbous ornamental hybrid developed by allium breeder Mark McDonough. Its hybrid parentage is unknown, but likely includes some A. nutens. Each bulb typically produces an upright foliage clump of slender, somewhat flattened, broad linear, grass-like, glossy deep green leaves to 6-12” tall in spring. Unbranched naked scapes rise above the foliage clump to as much as 18-20” tall by mid-summer, each scape being topped by a showy 2-inch spherical umbel of rose purple florets. Flowers typically bloom mid to late summer (July-August). Although all parts of this plant have an oniony smell and taste when cut or bruised, this hybrid is considered to be an ornamental and is not used for culinary purposes.

Richard Hawke: Protruding white anthers add sparkle to the dark rose-purple umbels of ‘Windy City’, a standout feature of this 2015 introduction. The 2-inch starburst-like, mostly sterile flower heads open in early summer and put on a spectacular show for about six weeks. The glossy dark green foliage is particularly lush in the early season; leaf tips may yellow or brown in summer, although it was not too troubling. ‘Windy City’ has a uniform robust habit to 21 inches tall in bloom—while the leaves form a clump that is 10 inches tall and 30 inches wide.

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

Romence Gardens: Allium 'Lavender Bubbles' is a fantastic groundcover that attracts both butterflies and bees. The deep purple, sphere-shaped flowers grace the shiny, dark green, strappy foliage in late summer. It is an easy to grow variety that works well in beds, borders, and containers.

Walters Gardens: Soft lavender flower clusters are held on strong stems above a mound of glaucous blue green foliage. The wide, linear leaves have a slight twist. Compared to 'Millenium', 'Bubble Bath' has lighter purple flowers on larger 3" flower clusters. Compared with the bulb-type varieties like 'Globemaster', this type of Allium will have smaller, more numerous flower clusters, bloom in summer instead of spring, and have foliage that stays attractive through fall.
