Sicilian Honey Lily (Allium siculum): Nodding Bells of Cream & Pink

Sicilian Honey Lily (Allium siculum, syn. Nectaroscordum siculum) is a unique ornamental onion that bears tall stems topped with an umbel of numerous nodding, bell-shaped flowers in cream, pink, and green — each dripping with nectar (hence "honey lily"). Blooming in late spring, its blue-green foliage twists attractively. A conversation piece for borders and cottage gardens.
