2017 AAS Winner! Fragrant plants produce very uniform, pure white, beautiful, 4 to 5 inch round bulbs with a much improved, almost sweet, licorice/anise flavor. Slower to bolt (7 to 10 days later) compared to similar varieties. Ornamental fronds produce seed and are a favorite food of pollinators - particularly swallowtail caterpillars. Excellent in containers. Easy-to-grow.
