Greetings
I've grown Allium akaka for many years ( came as seed as something else
). Doesn't increase vegetatively for me and doesn't self-seed. It's not as
nice as A. karataviense but there's a je ne sais quoi about it that keeps me
growing it. I find the name fascinating--I suppose it's an infantile
recollection of "kaka" and kindergarden humor. One would assume that it is
a local name for the bulb.
