Turkistan Onion features a unique ornamental appeal, primarily noticeable through its stem, approximately 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) in height. From this erect stem, a striking cluster of light pink, star-shaped, mildly fragrant flowers emerges, spanning about 3-6 inches (7.5-15 cm). The foliage consists of a pair of broad basal leaves, each up to 9 inches (23 cm) in length and 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide, often exhibiting a purple mottling. The leaves emit a distinct onion scent when damaged. Over time, the bulbs produce smaller bulblets and the plant has the ability to self-seed.
