Ping Pong Allium
Description
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.
