Allium 'Hair' (a cultivar of Allium vineale) is a bizarre and whimsical ornamental onion where the typical flower head is replaced by a mass of long, twisting, green filamentous tendrils — looking like a bad hair day. A conversation piece in the garden, it blooms in late spring to early summer. The species is often considered a weed, but this cultivar is purely ornamental.
