I think you are referring to allium "Ivory Queen", a 'karataviense'.

I planted several in my garden this year, and I was surprised to find out they are only about 10 inches tall, if that! Very interesting blue foliage, though. And a pretty ivory colored ball on mine, which 'they' say is much improved over the 'pasty grey-mauve' ball on the original.

We have quite a range of allium posted here, and galanthophile no doubt has some interesting additions for next week!

'They' say (again I say the anonymous 'they' and I have to get away from that!) the hybridizers are working on many more-- alliums are getting very popular.

What is blooming with your alliums? I need a nice white flower bloom to off set the purple balls. Any ideas for flower combinations?
