Allium cristophii, common name Persian onion or Star of Persia;[6][7] is a species of onion native to Turkey, Iran, and Turkmenistan, though grown as an ornamental bulbous plant in many parts of the world.[3] It may be sold under the synonym of Allium albopilosum.
Star of Persia is a member of the onion subfamily within the amaryllis family. It grows to 60 cm (24") and is cultivated in gardens for its large showy (umbels) of silvery pink star-shaped flowers, 20–25 cm (8-10") in diameter, which appear in early summer. The flowers are followed by attractive fruiting clusters. The plant has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[8][9]
