Allium – cernuum

Allium cernuum, commonly known as the nodding onion, forms graceful clumps of narrow, grass-like leaves topped by delicate, downward-facing umbels of pink to lavender bell-shaped flowers. The flower stalks gently arch so the blooms nod outward, giving a textured, airy vertical accent in the garden. Blooming in mid to late summer, its blossoms attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects while the foliage retains a subtle onion fragrance. This species is hardy, low maintenance, and ideal for rock gardens, meadow plantings, borders, or naturalized areas.
