Allium ‘Millennium’

Common Name:
Allium ‘Millennium’

Description:
Allium ‘Millennium’ is a standout ornamental onion prized for its dense, globe-shaped clusters of rich rosy-purple flowers and its exceptional garden performance. Flowering in mid to late summer, well after most other alliums have finished, it provides a valuable burst of colour during the seasonal gap. Its compact, clump-forming habit features tidy, glossy green, grass-like foliage that remains fresh and attractive throughout the growing season—unlike many other alliums whose leaves tend to yellow early. In Melbourne gardens, ‘Millennium’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, it handles dry spells with ease. It is ideal for perennial borders, rock gardens, edging, or pots, and it pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and late-flowering perennials. Loved by bees and butterflies and rarely bothered by pests, this hardy perennial is also highly resistant to rabbits and deer, making it a reliable, low-maintenance choice.
