Allium ‘Luna’

Common Name:
Allium ‘Luna’

Description:
Allium ‘Luna’ is an eye-catching ornamental allium known for its soft, buttery-yellow blooms—an unusual and highly prized colour in the allium family. Forming rounded, globe-like flowerheads composed of dozens of delicate star-shaped florets, it blooms in late spring to early summer on slender upright stems above compact, strappy green foliage. The blooms gently fade to a creamy white as they age, adding a dynamic, luminous presence to garden beds. Ideal for Melbourne’s climate, ‘Luna’ performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating dry conditions once established. Its tidy, clumping growth habit makes it perfect for rockeries, cottage gardens, and contemporary plantings. Long-lasting in the garden and vase, ‘Luna’ is also a favourite with pollinators while remaining largely unbothered by pests and disease.
