With umbrella-like umbels or globular flower heads in the rarest colours, they set powerful accents in perennial borders or rock gardens. Long after flowering they decorate beds or dry bouquets with their attractive fruit stalks. Some of them are very durable cut flowers, where one perceives the typical smell of leek only when cutting, but not indoors in the vase.
