Allium decipiens

Planting with purpose is a great way to beautify the landscape while also enticing pollinators, such as beneficial insects and birds, to the area. Not only does it help support the host garden, but it also aids surrounding properties. Allium decipiens is a beautiful pollinator attracter, displaying round flower heads of soft lilac-purple florets with prominent, bright green centers. It blooms from May to June and naturalizes like a champ. Alliums are quite easy to grow and deter deer.
