- The Allium family (the Latin word for garlic) includes onions, leeks, garlic and an array of colorful globe-shaped flowers. They are excellent for planting in groups or in a border. The blooms are long-lasting in water, and some have flower heads that dry very well. Grow the shorter species at the front of a border or in a rock garden. Many seed freely and are excellent perennializers. Several species also have culinary uses. Seldom affected by rodents or deer!
