Allium cowanii
€3.00
Dutch Tax included
Description
A. cowanii is closely related to A. neapolitanum. The flower stem is distinctly triangular. The snow-white wreaths consist of dozens of star-shaped short-stemmed flowers with sharply contrasting green anthers. The flower stem grows in an almost corkscrew-like way, only to straighten up just before flowering. There is a lot of confusion surrounding the name. It turns out that A. cowanii does not exist! According to Dilys Davis, A. neapolitanum left Europe as an Italian and was it reintroduced as a South American by Peruvian partner Cowan.
