More: The foliage on A. 'Globemaster' must be left to die back naturally in order to nourish the bulb, however, it is not very attractive, so tuck these plants among other perennials that will obscure the senescing leaves of the allium. Makes a lovely cut flower either fresh or dried. Very attractive to pollinators.
