Allium cernuum (Nodding Onion) 2" Plug 50 ct.
Description
Allium cernuum, commonly known as Nodding Onion, is a clump-forming perennial native to North America. Its name comes from its unique flower stalks, which “nod” under the weight of clusters of bell-shaped pink to lavender flowers that bloom in summer. The plant’s slender, grass-like leaves are both edible and ornamental, adding a mild onion flavor to dishes.
Nodding Onion thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils, though it is tolerant of rocky or sandy conditions. This plant is a valuable addition to pollinator gardens, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its versatility makes it suitable for borders, rock gardens, or naturalized areas. Historically, Native Americans used this plant for culinary and medicinal purposes.
