How about Allium rubrovitattum? Mine are in the ground, but I plan to
move one to a
trough this year. Tiny and really pretty, 1 bulb puts out 4-5 burgundy
drumsticks.
Also Allium chamaemoly ssp littoralis, which I got from Monocot Nursery.
I feel that A. rubrovittatum is too tall and vigorous for a trough, but
perhaps it would not be in Lisa's climate in the Midwest. I'd choose some
of the really short-growing western American alliums such as A.
siskiyouense or A. campanulatum, which produce only two leaves per bulb, I
think.
