Park Seed Allium Drumstick Onion Bulbs
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking deer-resistant, pollinator-friendly blooms.
These architectural blooms bring a sculptural, rose-purple pop to the garden that feels more high-design than your average perennial. They are essentially bulletproof, shrugging off deer and drought while multiplying on their own, though you sacrifice the lush, leafy foliage of traditional flowers for their unique, egg-shaped stems.
