Five Allium Medusa Planted In Island Bed - June 2025

We have a number of Allium Summer Beauty scattered around the garden.  They were the first clumping ornamental onion that I used in the garden and, I think one of the best.  They just grow.  Over the years, I've added others - like Serendipity Allium.  

When I was up at Roy Diblik's Northwind Perennial Farm, I came across a new (to me) allium:  Medusa.  Here's the sign they have up below:

Twisting leaves with all the purple blooms of other allium.  Sounds interesting.  Here, below, is a closer look at the foliage on the Medusa Allium.  I bought five of them in quart-sized containers:

I decided to fill a part of the front yard Island bed - along the driveway - with a colony or drift of these five Medusa Allium.  You can see them set up in their spots below:

We'll see how these perform compared to my (current) favorite allium:  Serendipity.
