$9.99
Superb late flowering show-stopper, tough plant with no pests and diseases. Deer and rabbit resistant and highly attractive for butterflies and bees. Perennial Plant of The Year in 2018.
No wonder, why we see this amazing plant more and more in public spaces, this is one of the plants that does very well in Midwest conditions, isn't bothered by the heat, summer droughts, clay soil or overpopulated deer.
Dense mounds of glossy leaves stay ornamental for the whole season, 2" rose-purple globes appear in July-August and last for 4 weeks.
Full sun is the best, average soil with average moisture to dry soils, drained, dry, sandy, gritty soils, drier clay. Avoid waterlogged soils.
'Millenium' is not as sterile as its cousin 'Summer Beauty", but it is not as prolific of a seeder as other alliums. If you want to avoid seedlings, deadhead before the seeds get ripe.
Looks great in smaller groups, as well as single clumps when they repeat in the flower bed. Can be used as groundcover, even when it's not fast grower.
Blooming Time:
Size: 1-1.5' tall and wide
USDA Zones: 4 to 9
Culture:
Moisture Needs:
Origin: Great introduction of Mark McDonough, Allium collector and breeder from Massachusetts. The parentage of this cultivar is unknown, but tracks of genes of Allium nutans (native to European Russia to east China) and Allium lusitanicum (Europe from Northern Portugal to Ukraine) can be recognized.
Black Walnut Tolerant: yes
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / yes
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
Plant Combinations: Great combinations are with medium sized grasses (Bouteloa, Eragrostis,Muhlenbergia, Schizachyrium, Sporobolus) and perennials like smaller Asters, Asclepias tuberosa, Coreopsis, Monarda bradburiana, Ruellia humilis, and many others
