Star of Persia (Allium cristophii), also called Persian Onion, produces enormous, spherical flower heads up to 10-12 inches across, composed of hundreds of star-shaped, silvery-amethyst flowers with a metallic sheen. Blooming in late spring, the heads dry beautifully on the plant. A stunning architectural bulb for sunny, well-drained gardens.
