Allium oreophilum produces one spherical bulb up to 2 cm (2⁄3 in) in diameter. The scape is short for the genus, rarely more than 20 cm (8 in) tall. The leaves are flat, narrow and longer than the scape. The umbel is a loose dome with 10–15 pink or red flowers in late spring and early summer.^[3]

The plant is hardy but requires a sheltered position in full sun, with fertile soil.^[3]
