Victory onion or seiersl\u00f8k (Allium victorialis<\/em>) in Norwegian has one of the most widespread geographic distributions in the Allium<\/em> genus from the Pyrenees\u00a0 to the Far East. In Norway, it’s naturalised in the Lofoten Islands, a few places in Nordland county and one location in Hardanger (Granvin). There is evidence to believe that it was originally introduced to Norway by the Vikings. I have plants from different parts of its range in my garden and there is a large difference between them as to when they begin to shoot in the spring, the ones deriving from Japan leafing out a few weeks earlier than the ones from Europe and Norway, although a plant received as Allium ochotense <\/em>(nowadays considered by most as a synonym of A. victorialis),<\/em> which originated in the Troms\u00f8 botanical garden, is probably from the Russian Far East and is also a late variety. Below are pictures of most of my plants taken on 19th and 20th April 2020. I have about 5 other accessions, two not big enough to photograph, one from the Kola peninsular has not grown well and will be moved to a new location, 3 more were planted this spring. two donated by the Oslo botanical garden and one a variegated form from Japan: Allium victorialis subsp. platyphyllum ‘Chiri Fu’.

1) From a seed trade with Iku Kubota in Japan in 2002.
\"\"
2) From Tei Kobayashi in Japan in 2016 (subsp. platyphyllum or broad-leaved victory onion) has a flower bud extending
\"\"
3) From seed from the Reykjavik botanical garden in 2009, originatin from the Sakhalin in the Russian Far East. This one also has a flower bud and has broadish leaves.
\"\"
4) Received from the Troms\u00f8 botanical garden in 2002
\"\"
5) From Granvin in Norway in 2012
\"\"
6) From Merete in Lofoten in 2003
\"\"
7) From Anja Angelsen. Krogtoft, Vestv\u00e5g\u00f8y, Lofoten, Norway (2009)\"\"
8) From Massif Central in the French Alps (kindly sent to me by the Haut-Chitelet alpine garden in 2013) \"\"
9) From naturalised plants in Hopen, Nordland, Norway in 2013\"\"10) Probably Allium victorialis Cantabrica AMH 7827 (collected by Antoine Michael Hoog, the son of one of the founders from Van Tubergen); I received it as Cantabria in 2008.\"\"<\/p>\n
