Taxon info
Allium heldreichii was believed to be endemic to Mt Olimbos, where it was discovered by Heldreich in 1851, but has subsequently been found also on Vermio, in C Pindos and on Mt Giona, growing in open woodland and rock ledges at moderate altitude. Somewhat similar to the commonly cultivated A. schoenoprasum (chives), it is a showy species with horticultural potential.A
