‘Mount Everest’ is a tall ornamental allium, growing 3 to 4 feet tall, with a spread of about 10 to 12 inches. It features sturdy, upright stems topped with large, spherical white flower heads that can reach 4 to 6 inches in diameter, rising above narrow, basal foliage.
It blooms in late spring to early summer (typically May to June), producing pure white globe-shaped flower heads made up of dozens of tiny, star-like florets. These architectural blooms offer striking contrast when paired with other early summer perennials.
‘Mount Everest’ thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil—gravelly or sandy soils are ideal. It performs best in drier conditions and is drought-tolerant once established. Avoid planting in areas with soggy or compacted soils, especially in winter.
Yes! Like most ornamental onions, ‘Mount Everest’ is deer- and rabbit-resistant due to its onion-scented foliage. It’s also low-maintenance—just plant the bulbs in fall, allow the foliage to die back naturally after blooming, and enjoy the low-fuss beauty it brings year after year.
Absolutely! The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Its long-lasting blooms also provide structure and visual interest in pollinator-friendly and formal gardens alike.
