I think most of the fall-flowering Allium species are from East Asia, and they are not sold as dormant bulbs because they don't form a substantial bulb with a tunic, which could be stored dry. They do increase well and sometimes you can buy them in pots. Aaron mentioned A. thunbergii, and there are at least 3 others. They are small plants with purple flowers and numerous grassy leaves. I don't find them very satisfactory in the garden border, but they probably do better in more humid areas. (It may be confusing to those who know that both I and Robin Hansen live in Oregon, and I complain of low humidity while she mentions excessive humidity; the answer is that she lives quite near the Pacific Ocean, and I'm inland, on the other side of the Coast Range and not subject to summer fog. If I were on the other side of the nearby Cascade Mountains farther to the east, I would be in a near-desert, but still in Oregon.)
