About Allium cernuum Potted Ornamental Onion Plant
Allium cernuum - Nodding Onion
Nodding Onion is a native herbaceous bulb perennial with long, narrow grass-like green foliage. Sturdy upright stems that crook sharply downwards at the ends and sport loose nodding clusters of flowers of the ends in summer. Grows best with light afternoon shade in the South and dry to medium well-drained soils. When crushed the plant smells like onion.
This is an unspecified selection that can be purple, pink, or white flowering.
