This summer-flowering bulbous perennial has straight, slender stems that reach between 60 - 90cm (2 - 3 ft). Each stem is topped by a small, egg-shaped flower head that starts off completely green before turning purple at the tip and becoming deep reddish purple.
Popular for landscaping and naturalising, Sphaerocephalon commonly referred to as drumsticks or round headed leek will flower freely and multiply very quickly.
Interesting Note: A member of the Amaryllis family, this egg shaped onion also referred to as round headed garlic, naturalises freely and is native to Europe and parts of Africa and forms a part of many a landscape project.
