Its thread-like leaves and small, refined blooms give it a clean, polished look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike chive-type alliums that can seed around, it stays well behaved and tidy. At 14 to 16 inches tall, it suits border fronts, rock gardens and mixed plantings, and pairs nicely with purple-flowered alliums. Butterflies and bees visit it, and deer and rabbits leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall, rounded flower clusters about 1 to 1.5 inches across of tiny starry florets in crisp, solid white, held on thin, upright stems above the foliage. Leaves are very narrow, thread-like and medium green, forming a fine-textured, tidy tuft. The plant is a compact clump 14 to 16 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide. At peak bloom the fine green tuft is dotted evenly with small white balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeedlepoint likes the same sunny, well-drained soil as lavender, and its crisp white globes and fine leaves make a clean, bright edging in front of lavender in late summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in lean to average, well-drained soil; it handles drought once established.
