Allium callimischon is a plant species native to southwestern Turkey and to southern Greece (including Peloponnese and the Island of Crete).[1] It is grown in other countries as an ornamental because of its attractive flowers.[2]
Allium callimischon is a perennial herb up to 30 cm tall. It has small bulbs and thread-like leaves. Flowers are borne in an umbel, white with thin purple midevins on the tepals.[3][4][5]
