Allium cernuum

Nodding Onion

This is one of the most attractive of our native alliums. Pure white to light pink flowers are suspended on two foot tall stalks in late summer. A great choice for short prairie meadows and sunny borders, Nodding Onion will thrive in any moderately rich soil, from rocky hillsides to damp clay. Increases vegetatively, and can be divided in early spring.
