Description
‘Ostara’ Allium delivers the drama of classic ornamental onions — in a pint-sized package perfect for tight spaces. Each sturdy 12” stem supports a 4–6” violet sphere, creating a galaxy of blooms in late spring to early summer.
This compact cultivar is right at home in borders, containers, or tucked among perennials as a playful surprise. Its blooms attract bees and butterflies, and its oniony scent sends deer packing — making it as practical as it is pretty.
‘Ostara’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, and does best with a bit of moisture. With a sparkling display of color and a tidy growth habit, ‘Ostara’ is a garden gem that brings pollinator power and visual punch.
