‘Summer Beauty’ Allium is a long-blooming ornamental onion that produces showy, lavender-pink blooms in mid summer. The globe-shaped flowers sit atop strap-like foliage that remains a shiny deep green throughout the season. Cold hardy, deer resistant, and easy to care for, this gorgeous allium will attract plentiful bees and butterflies.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
18-24” tall x 18-24” wide. ‘Summer Beauty,’ like most alliums prefers full sun, but can also tolerate part shade. Its spectacular globe-shaped flowerheads are made up of small delicate blooms that attract pollinators to their nectar. ‘Summer Beauty’ is a good choice for high-impact border plantings, and for planting in clusters throughout the landscape where their unusual pompom shapes help to break up monotony add a new sense of dimension. Unlike the majority of alliums that are planted in fall as bulbs, ‘Summer Beauty’ is available as a perennial plant that can be added to the landscape throughout the season.
