DESCRIPTION
Allium siculum subsp. dioscoridis, commonly known as Sicilian honey garlic, is a striking perennial recognized for its unique, spherical flower clusters. Blooming in late spring to early summer, it produces large, globe-shaped umbels of cream and wine-colored flowers with a subtle, honey-like fragrance. The flowers are supported by tall, slender stems that rise above the plant’s narrow, strap-like leaves, creating a graceful and elegant display.
Native to Sicily and parts of southern Italy, Allium siculum subsp. dioscoridis is prized for its unusual color combination and long-lasting blooms. It's well-suited for garden borders, mixed perennial beds, or naturalized plantings, where its distinctive, globe-shaped flowers add architectural interest and a touch of Mediterranean charm.
