20-24" tall x 4-8" wide. Ping Pong Allium hits a
home run with fuzzy white globe-like flowers. Lighting up the early summer
garden, the 2" flowers add a touch of whimsy to a flower bed, and a
favorite stop for bumblebees, honeybees, butterflies and other native
pollinators. Easy-care and pest resistant, just plant them in compost-enriched,
well-drained soil in a full sun location. As Alliums are naturally resistant to
animal browsing, some gardeners interplant Allium throughout the garden to
protect other more vulnerable plants. At 20-24" tall, 'Ping Pong' is
lovely planted with Delphinium, Veronica, Salvia, Peonies and other early
summer bulbs. They make great cut flowers, or leave them in the garden where
their gradually drying spheres contribute fantastic shapes. Touched by snow,
they are even more magical! Let the green sword-shaped leaves wilt naturally
before removing. Once established Allium is a drought-tolerant plant that will
form clumps of beautiful flowers each year.
