Notes

'Mount Everest' ornamental onion (Allium stipitatum 'Mount Everest') is a bulb for food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. Round white flower heads open in late spring and early summer. Fa. A. Langedijk bred it.

Pairs well with Paradigm hosta, Autumn Fire sedum, and Borage.
