Ornamental Onion, Drumstick AlliumAllium insubricum
A rare and coveted jewel, Allium insubricum has soft rose-purple bells clustered five-a-piece on nodding stems set among tall tapering glaucous leaves, which remain throughout the summer. 

This is a rhizamatous Allium, and it prefers slightly damp acidic soil.
