American Meadows Ambassador Allium
Best statement plant for gardeners seeking tall, deer-resistant pollinator blooms.
These towering, deep purple globes bring architectural drama to any garden bed without the constant headache of deer damage. While their four-foot stature demands a prominent spot in the back of the border, the payoff is a long-lasting, pollinator-friendly display that looks just as striking in a vase.
