Allium 'Graceful Beauty' Bulbs – American Native, White & Pink Globe, Deer Resistant, Fall Planting

Allium 'Graceful Beauty' is a perennial garden favorite — and one of the few ornamental alliums native to North America. Compact and perfectly proportioned at just 12 inches tall, it produces charming 3-inch diameter globe flower heads densely filled with dozens of tiny pale pink florets, a bright pink center, and dark pink-purple stamens that create a delicate, jewel-like effect in late spring to early summer. Unlike its larger allium cousins, Graceful Beauty is particularly suited to the front of borders, container plantings, and rock gardens where its refined scale can be fully appreciated. Best planted in generous drifts for maximum visual impact, it naturalizes happily and returns reliably every year.

Planting & Care
