Advise on Alliums for Subtropical

Hi,

I like Allium drummondii, other than A. canadense (which seems to grow
anywhere) it is the only Allium I try to grow around here, it doesn't mind the mild
winters and humidity. There are a few other native Allium species from south
Texas but I've never seen them. A. drummondii doesn't mind year round rain,
and is a smallish plant.

It is pale pink or lavender-pink. I don't have seeds at present, but if
someone jogs my memory next spring I'll put some seeds aside from stock that
originated in south-central Texas.

Cordially,
