Allium aflatunense is a bulbous perennial ornamental onion from Central Asia, grown for its large, globe-shaped purple-pink flower heads in late spring. It grows best in full sun in well-drained soil.
Allium aflatunense is a species of plant in the amaryllis family, native to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia. In other regions, it is commonly grown as a garden plant.
Allium aflatunense is generally hardy in USDA zones 4–8. The plant is suitable for use as a cut flower. While it prefers alkaline soil, it can tolerate poor soil conditions, as well as part shade (though it does best in full sun).
