Allium karataviense 'Ivory Queen'

Allium karataviense 'Ivory Queen' - this recent pure white selection is superb,
being a clear white as compared to the muted pink or off-white color of the typical
form.  In the view below, we see three forms, 'Red Globe' on the left, the typical
washed-out pink form in the middle, and 'Ivory Queen' on the right.









Allium karataviense 'Ivory Queen' - foliage is exceptionally wide, gray, and showy.
This cultivar is readily-available commercially and very inexpensive.





In fruit, the plant carries on with the same compelling glaucous color scheme.
