Allium koreanum, the Korean rocky chive, [3] is a species of Allium endemic to the Korean Peninsula. [4]

It has three to six leaves that are 20–54 cm (7.9–21.3 in) long and 2–7.4 cm (0.79–2.91 in) wide, and a sheath that is 7.6–22.4 cm (3.0–8.8 in) long. [5] The pyxidium is obtuse, triangular and solid. [5] Purple-red flowers bloom in August to November; 74 to 197 flowers form an umbel at the end of a 10–22.2 mm (0.39–0.87 in) long flower stalk. [5] The bract is broadovate, with a caudate end. [5] Perianth lobes are broadoval and 3.8–7.2 cm (1.5–2.8 in) long with a round end and green midrib on the underside. [5]
