It is also called pearl garlic, ancient leek or wild onion. The long flower stems with beautiful large pointed flower buds appear late in spring. The buds of the bulb flowers remain in a paper-like covering for a long time, which bursts open as soon as the flower develops into a beautiful spherical flower with many pearl-like flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAllium ampeloprasum\u003c\/em\u003e 'Ping Pong'\u003c\/strong\u003e grows to a height of approximately 100 centimeters with a flower diameter of approximately 10 centimeters.

The planting depth is 2 to 3 times the height of the flowerbulb itself and the planting distance is 20 centimeters. Approximately 16 flowerbulbs fit on one m².\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey naturalize easily in the garden but also in pots.

The best position is in full sun, but can also be placed in partial shade. It is suitable for planting between other perennials because of its late flowering time. The best position for the Ampeloprasum in the border is in the middle or at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut off the spent flower at the top and let the rest die. After flowering you can dig up the flowerbulb and divide it if necessary. The smaller flowerbulbs are then replanted together with the old flowerbulb in October. Provide organic fertilizer when planting and in the spring before flowering for an extra good result in the flower and for the propagation of the flowerbulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEdible plants\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the plant as a whole is somewhat smaller than the normal leek, the entire plant can be eaten and tastes a bit like garlic.
