'Serendipity' Ornamental Onion boasts globe-like, rosy-purple flowers mid to late summer that top attractive blue foliage. The upright habit works as a thriller in containers and the landscape. Alliums are charming plants for the rock or herb garden. When the foliage is bruised, it smells like onions since they are in the onion family. Butterflies and honeybees adore the flowers' sweet nectar but deer and rabbits steer clear of this perennial beauty.
