Garlic chives Flowers

Allium Tuberosum, commonly known as Garlic Chives, makes a graceful green statement in the landscape and blooms in September and October with a fireworks-like burst of white bloom on a tall stalk held above the grassy green leaves.

Native to Asia, this herbaceous perennial, hardy in zones 3-9, forms slowly expanding clumps of grey-green foliage 10-20” tall. In late summer to early fall, flowers open on sturdy, two to three-foot-tall stalks well above the foliage. Each 2-3” wide loose umbel contains many small, white, star-shaped flowers with brown-striped tepals. The flowers are attractive to butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
