Allium siculum or 'Honey Garlic' is a member of the Onion family and (similarly) is a perennial that grows from a bulb.
It prefers dappled, shady woodland settings where it displays its showy umbels of greeny yellow bell shaped flowers with maroon streaks, atop tall, green stems.
The flowers are followed by decorative seed pods later in the season.
Foliage is triangular, twisted and a blue/grey colour.
These unusually coloured and pretty flowers suit beds and borders of informal designs like cottage and gravel gardens.
They may take 2-5 years to reach optimum height and spread.
Soil: Well drained, lighter textured soils that have plenty of added organic matter to supply continual access to moisture without waterlogging.
Maintenance: Although a bulb, they are best left undisturbed rather than dividing.
They spread naturally by self seeding.
Diseases: Generally they are pest and disease free.
Comments: Grown widely as an ornamental, but also specifically for culinary seasoning in Bulgaria.
Allium is nonetheless considered toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.
