Rating for this plant:
I like to use these alliums as 'pop-ups' in the garden. They are tall and can be planted amongst other lower growing plants. They appear like purple lollipops around the garden. Interesting effect. After the blooms fade, you are left with an interesting sphere.

I like this opinion
