Allium texanum |

| | Finally starting to flower |

| | Healthy clump of foliage on fifth-year plants |
Grows into a mound of blue-grey foliage, a little wider than it is tall, with umbels of white flowers held above the grassy leaves in late spring and early summer. It goes dormant in the heat of summer, to re-emerge in late autumn. At least, that's what the information I found online says. My plants don't go dormant in summer, and for the first four years in the garden didn't produce any flowers – although during that time they grew to be quite robust and made serviceable enough clumps. Finally, in late August of their fifth year in the garden, a few of the clumps started tentatively flowering. I'll be watching for a better show in years to come.
