Allium ‘Quattro’ is a popular perennial herb, famously nicknamed a “four-in-one” plant because so many of its parts are edible. The primary part used for its culinary value is its flat, grass-like leaves, which provide a mild and savoury flavour that is often described as a perfect mix between chives and garlic. However, its edibility doesn’t stop there; the attractive, globe-shaped purple flowers can also be eaten, along with the young flower stalks and the small corms that form at the base of the plant.

When it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, clump-forming perennial that is very adaptable. It is not fussy about its light conditions and will thrive in locations with either full sun or partial shade. The main requirement for it to grow well is providing it with soil that is kept moist but remains well-drained. As an added benefit to the garden, its attractive purple flowers are known to be very popular with pollinators.
