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.
