Quick Overview:

‘Millenium’ forms a compact, upright clump of glossy green, thick and strap-shaped leaves which emit a slight smell of onion when crushed. In mid summer, a profusion of large 2?, bright rosy purple, tightly rounded clusters of flowers appear on strong stems just above the attractive foliage.

Butterflies and honeybees adore the flowers’ sweet nectar but deer and rabbits steer clear of this perennial beauty.

This plant has not been known to reseed in the landscape and is very easy to grow

Description

Easily grown in rich, sandy to gritty, dry to medium moisture, well-drained loams in full sun. Plants form dense, slowly-spreading clumps over time. They perform best in dry, sunny areas of the garden. Established plantings have good drought tolerance. Plant new bulbs 2-4" deep in fall. Established plants may be divided in fall. Bulbils that may form in the umbel may also be planted in fall. Plants may self-seed in the garden. Deadhead flowers before seed sets to help control any unwanted spread.
