Allium nutans x senescens an unnamed hybrid Seedlings from Allium nutans produce a wide range of interesting progeny.  The plant shown above was selected for further breeding stock, notable on account of the large, dense flower heads, sturdy stems that are strongly winged, and it's floriferous habit.  Flower color is weak but it's other attributes compensate and the plant might pass along good characteristics in further generations of seedlings.

Allium 'Millenium' my newest hybrid This new hybrid is a 3rd or 4th generation seedling of Allium 'Satellite'.  It has larger flower heads on a more compact plant, and seems even more floriferous.  The flower color is a deeper, rosy-purple compared to the pink flowers of 'Satellite', and it flowers later too, from mid July - August, making a good show of color for several weeks.

Allium 'August Confection' This selection is merely a dark color form of the European A. senescens ssp. montanum, notable on account of the handsome clumps of shiny green strap-like foliage. The deep, ruddy pink flowers in small, tight heads appear in late summer, at it's peak the beginning of August.	Allium nutans 'Amethyst' This worthwhile selection has large umbels of amethystine lilac flowers.  The pale tepals are complimented by deep pink ovaries and long exserted stamens giving a pincushion effect.  As the florets become fertilized and "go over" they age to a raspberry rose color.
