Allium cernuum (Nodding Ornamental Onion) (4")
Our lovely native perennial Allium that features clumps of flat, narrow, grass-like leaves (to 12" high and 6-10" wide) and tiny bell-shaped, pink to lilac pink (occasionally white) flowers which appear in loose, nodding clusters on scapes rising slightly above the foliage. All parts of the plant were once used as an edible vegetable, but its primary use is now ornamental.
Like all Alliums, it thrives in sunny spots and is drought tolerant once established -- consider it as a front-of-border accent to define the edge and keep bunnies from snacking in the garden. Considered an excellent choice for tough, urban sites. Plants usually go dormant after blooming during hot summer weather, but leaves will resprout in the fall. It will naturalize by self-seeding or bulblets if growing conditions are optimal.
Alliums attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, while resisting deer and rabbits.
