Globemaster Ornamental Onion is a clumping herbaceous perennial with spreading grass-like foliage. Sturdy upright stems sport huge 8-10" fragrant global clusters of lavender to silvery purple flowers that bloom in mid spring into mid summer. Grows best with light afternoon shade in the South and dry to medium well-drained soils. When crushed the foliage smells like onion.
