(12-18" tall x 4-6" wide) Nodding Onion is a lovely North American native perennial that adds care-free summer color to the garden. Grass-like foliage arrives in early spring, followed by taller scapes (flower stalks). Pink to lilac umbels of loose, nodding flowers bloom from mid-to-late summer. Easily grown in most conditions, they are drought tolerant once established. Wild Nodding Onion will gradually spread over time when happy to create lovely clumps of blossoms. Try it in a rock garden or perennial bed where its compact height and cheerful blossoms harmonize with other summer bloomers such as Echinacea, Milkweed, and ornamental grasses. When brushed, the flowers and foliage emit an onion-like scent, keeping deer away. Some gardeners use Allium throughout their flower beds in hopes of deterring browsers. This hardy native perennial is an adaptable staple to almost any garden setting.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent.

"I got this as a young plant from American Meadows a couple years ago and I'm looking forward to my third summer season with it blooming next to my driveway where I see it all summer long. It's a great vertical accent quite tall. I enjoy the 'nodding' buds as they form. They bloom quite a while and pollinators love it. Then i get the nice dried seed heads. Big fan!"
"Once this onion starts to spread its seeds, it becomes very invasive."
