Alchemilla erythropoda

Alchemilla erythropoda

A bit reminiscent of A. alpina of the 300 or so species this gem from the Carpathians ranks as one of the best. The foliage is very neat and the display of yellow flowers is among the best.____ZONE 4

Allium kiiense

Allium kiiense

Ornamental onions are the best: durable, pest resistant, and beautiful. And here’s one, hailing from Japan, with all those usual great attributes but blooms in the fall. The six-inch tall grassy foliage will look great all summer, then wraps up the year by covering itself with generous clusters of lavender flowers. The compact growth habit makes it entirely suitable for a rock garden, though it will thrive in regular garden soil as well. Zone 5 – 9, 6 inches tall and wide, sun to part sun.

Allium maximowiczii alba

Allium maximowiczii alba

This may be my favorite allium at the nursery. It flowers extremely heavily, all but covering the foliage in early summer with small round heads of white blooms, but what really sets is apart from other onions is the foliage. The leaves are narrow and grass-like, as silvery as a good fescue, and unlike most bulbous onions that go dormant right after flowering, the foliage stay looking terrific most of the summer. Less than six inches tall for us, clumps up nicely but doesn't run or seed around, perfect for everything from a trough to the front of a perennial boarder. Zone 4.

Allium senescens glaucum

Allium senescens glaucum

A magnificent foliage onion, the short flat, gray leaves grow in a distinctive curly swirly pattern to maybe 6 inches tall. In late summer, it produces round pink chive-like flowers which are nice, but in no way as distinctive and interest as the leaves. Zone 3

Anemarrhena asphodeloides

Anemarrhena asphodeloides

A very unusual plant, residing by itself in its very own monotypic family. Forms a tight clump of vaguely iris-like rhizomes, but the above ground effect is that of an ornamental grass. Narrow grassy leaves about a foot tall, and 2-3 foot spikes of tiny tiny little purply flowers above that in late summer. Apparently widely used in Chinese medicine, googling it will turn up a lot of pretty questionable herbal supplement products made from this plant. Never going to render anyone speechless with its beauty, but well worth growing as you would an ornamental grass. Zone 5
