Any ideas what this plant is? I bought Alliums and this is what has grown!

    It’s an allium ... just wait a while ... you’ll be thrilled. 😊

    thank you dove (coo coo 😂) what type is it? They are standing approx 3ft and that bud is so small and it is taking forever - I’m a bit excited now!

    My white Allium is almost there but the purple sensation is a little behind. Pics give you an idea of how the gradually form their ball shape.

    thank you! Is there a name for them?

    We’ve had similar puzzlement from allium growers in previous years and I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the ones with those long elegant buds 

    Perhaps @punkdoc or @chicky know, if they’re around 🤔

    I have been wracking my brains @Dovefromabove, but I can't remember which one it is.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Is it a nectaroscordum you’re thinking of ???  Beautiful plant, you’ll love it when it flowers....usually a bit later than the purple sensation ones
