Plant of the Day
Sunday 23 July 2017
The seed heads of Allium cristophii (star of Persia) are still providing display value in the border. Earlier in the season there were huge globes of small star-shaped, pinkish-purple flowers with a metallic sheen. They are ideal for a sunny site, dotted in small groups among ornamental grasses, or as part of a Mediterranean scheme. Here they were part of the display at Fullers Mill, Suffolk, UK.

Happy birthday Frank Stella, born OTD in 1936! "Star of Persia II" (1967) is reproduced from 'Frank Stella's Stars: A Survey,' published by @gregoryrmiller & @thealdrich #frankstella #starofpersia #frankstellastars #otd #bornotd https://www.instagram.com/p/CddcgJGsySn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
While it is easy and indeed commonplace to see loads of beautiful pictures of purple Allium in flower on Insta, for me, the seedheads can be just as valuable. After all, these seed heads will be present for many months after the flowers have quickly faded. Allium cristophii (sometimes spelled christophii) (Star of Persia), today’s #oneadayplant . So, to be clear, I do really like them in flower and the shorter stemmed, but massive flowered A. cristophii is one of my favourites, with flowers that increase in size as the bulb develops. It also seeds fairly freely, helping to bulk up stock in a border. What I think we need to consider more is the value beyond the flower from many Allium species and varieties. . Where a great many bulbs slowly degrade after flowering, their foliage browning and slumping; Allium continue to shine. The foliage of many Allium species and cultivars is rubbish and degrades before the flower even opens quite commonly. . The value of an interesting seedhead, extending the season cannot be underestimated. At the very least, in a vase indoors, but even extending interest through the dormant months of winter in an otherwise bare bed or border outside. . #allium #alliumcristophii #alliumchristophii #starofpersia #bulbs #onions #seeds #seedheads #flowers #plants #gardens #iplantsman #longseason #seasonsofinterest #flowerpower #growfromseed #bulbousplants #hardy #perennial #winter #spring #summer #autumn #purple #lilac #gardeningtips #gardeningadvice #growsomething #easytogrow (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBUl5sALwT/?igshid=jehdkc4lb13s
