Allium thunbergii ‘Ozawa’ – 'Ozawa' is the purple version of the Japanese Flowering Onion.

Plant Allium thunbergii ‘Ozawa’ in fertile, draining soil sited in sun.

Genus Overview: Allium

The Ornamental Onions are a large group with many garden-worthy species. We’ve selected some that have performed well for us. Most require full to nearly full sun in most any average garden soil. The addition of lime is helpful in acid soils. All our Alliums are offered as pot-grown flowering-sized bulbs from our stock plants.
