Allium cernuum | nodding onion

Nodding onion is a charming wildflower that produces delicate pale pink umbels in mid-summer. Topping out at just 12-18” tall, it’s a great small plant for planting in drifts along pathways and bed edges. Slow to establish at first, this species is most at home in full sun and well-drained soils and will spread over time to form handsome clumps or drifts. As with other Alliums, nodding onion is unbothered by deer and rabbits.

QT. pot only.
