Allium kermesinum is a wild garlic endemic to the Kamnik-Savinjska Alps in Slovenia. Out of the handful of localities of its very limited natural range, only one streches a few hundered into Austria. A plant of rocky meadows on limestone, in the upper montane belt, with the majority of localities are between 1500 and 1800 metres above sea level.

Grows well in rockeries or as a potted specimen. A real gem and a rarity.
