Allium Vineale 'Hair'

Allium 'Hair' (Allium vineale 'Hair') is an unusual and eye-catching ornamental onion that defies all expectations with its wild, almost surreal bloom. Flowering from June to August, it features delicate greenish-purple flowers surrounded by long, twisted floral stems that splay out in every direction like unruly hair—hence its playful name. The flower head has an irregular, almost sculptural appearance that makes it a true conversation piece in any planting.

Reaching a height of about 70–100 cm, 'Hair' floats lightly above surrounding plants and fits perfectly into naturalistic gardens, where its eccentric form adds movement and contrast to more structured designs. A true anarchist in the world of ornamental onions—and an unexpected highlight of the late summer garden.
