Description
As you can tell from the name, the attractive Allium variety dubbed cameleon isn’t content to settle for a single flower color. Allium 'Cameleon's color-changing trick means that the round, pinkish clusters of bloom will lighten to white as time goes on, creating a perfectly-matching mixture of shades. The effect is particularly striking when they’re planted in groups so that the massed blooms can complement each other.
Best of all you won’t have to work hard to get tons of gratification: the bulbs of Allium 'Cameleon' don’t even need to be lifted and stored during their dormancy. Plant your Allium 'Cameleon' bulbs this spring, and enjoy them for years to come!
