ALLIUM LENKORANICUM

Allium lenkoranicum is a rare and distinctive ornamental onion, native to the Talysh Mountains of Azerbaijan. This compact species reaches just 25cm in height, making it a perfect choice for rock gardens, borders, or container planting.

Flowering from August to October, it produces delicate umbels of buff-coloured, bell-shaped blooms that add subtle elegance to late-season displays. Its slender, grey terete foliage (cylindrical and smooth) provides year-round textural interest, contrasting beautifully with the warm-toned flowers.

Growing Conditions:

• Height: Up to 25cm
• Soil: Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil
• Sunlight: Full sun
• Flowering Period: August to October
• Maintenance: Low-maintenance; drought-tolerant once established

Allium lenkoranicum is a fascinating addition for collectors and gardeners looking for unusual, late-flowering species. Its delicate blooms and compact form make it an excellent choice for naturalistic planting schemes.
