Allium haematochiton has a small rhizome associated with clusters of brightly colored red bulbs.

From these grow several naked green stems, each with a few withering, curling leaves.

[6] Atop each stem is an inflorescence of several flowers, each on a short pedicel.

Each flower is just under a centimeter wide and white to pinkish with dark midveins.

There are six stout stamens around a white or pink ovary.
