<p><b>Klotlök</b><span> </span>(<i>Allium sphaerocephalon</i>) är en<span> </span>art<span> </span>i familjen<span> </span>amaryllisväxter<span> </span>som växer naturligt från centrala och södra<span> </span>Europa<span> </span>till<span> </span>Kaukasus<span> </span>och norra<span> </span>Afrika.

<p><i><b>Allium sphaerocephalon</b></i><span> </span>is a plant species in the<span> </span>Amaryllis family<span> </span>known as<span> </span><b>round-headed leek</b><span> </span>and also<span> </span><b>round-headed garlic</b>,<span> </span><b>ball-head onion</b>, and other variations on these names. Other names include Drumsticks, and in Germany, Kugellauch. Some publications use the alternate spelling<span> </span><i>A. sphaerocephalum</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference">[2]</sup><span> </span>It is a hardy<span> </span>perennial plant.</p>
<p><i>Allium sphaerocephalon</i><span> </span>is found in the wild across all parts of<span> </span>Europe<span> </span>except in the northernmost countries (Ireland,<span> </span>Netherlands,<span> </span>Scandinavia, and the<span> </span>Baltic States).<sup id="cite_ref-Davies1992_3-0" class="reference">[3]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference">[4]</sup><span> </span>Its native range extends to northern<span> </span>Africa<span> </span>and to western<span> </span>Asia<span> </span>as far east as<span> </span>Iran.<sup id="cite_ref-ravenisgod_5-0" class="reference">[5]</sup><span> </span>It is also reportedly naturalised in<span> </span>New York State<span> </span>in the<span> </span>US.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference">[6]</sup><span> </span>In the<span> </span>UK<span> </span>it grows wild only in the<span> </span>Avon Gorge<span> </span>so is known locally as the<span> </span><b>Bristol onion</b>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference">[7]</sup></p>
<p>The species is prized by<span> </span>gardeners<span> </span>because of its striking floral display. The spherical "head" (technically an<span> </span>umbel) is borne on a long<span> </span>scape, up to 50 cm in height, usually in July. It can contain hundreds of deep purple flowers.<sup id="cite_ref-ravenisgod_5-1" class="reference">[5]</sup></p>
<p>This plant has gained the<span> </span>Royal Horticultural Society’s<span> </span>Award of Garden Merit.</p>
<p><i>Allium sphaerocephalon</i><span> produces egg-shaped bulbs. Small </span>bulblets<span> are present under the outer layer of the stem (making the plant potentially </span>invasive<span> when grown in gardens). Flowers are borne on a </span>scape<span> up to 50 cm in height, in a spherical to egg-shaped </span>umbel<span>, 1–6 cm in diameter, tightly packed with many flowers crowded together. The relatively small size of the umbel relative to the height of the stem makes this one of those described as 'drumstick alliums'. Individual flowers are reddish-purple and are occasionally replaced by bulbils (again making this a potentially invasive species).</span></p>
