Allium atropurpureum is a striking ornamental onion that stands out with its unique, almost-black, deep burgundy-purple blooms. Forming tight clusters, the star-shaped flowers provide a dramatic contrast in both contemporary gardens and more traditional settings. It is highly cherished by gardeners not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its ease of cultivation and the architectural element it brings to the garden.
