WEST COAST SEEDS ALLIUM NODDING WILD ONION

  • Allium cernuum. If you spend enough time looking in the dry woods, rocky outcroppings, and prairies across North America, you will eventually discover Nodding Wild Onions growing in scattered clumps.
  • Individual stems arise to a height of 45cm (18″) from bulbs in the ground.
  • In early and mid-summer, they bear umbels of white to rose coloured, pendant flowers that nod and wobble in the wind. These are highly attractive to short-tongued bees, but not to grazing deer.
  • Each flower develops into a spherical fruit, which splits at the end of summer to reveal more shiny black seeds.
  • Beneath the soil, the bulbs split and multiply just the way tulips do.
  • These perennial wildflowers are hardy to Zone 2, and while they are technically edible, it's a good idea to wait until a small colony has developed, and then harvest them judiciously as a summertime treat.
  • Grow in full sun to part shade, or in freely draining containers
    • Weight 0.0226 lbs
    Dimensions 6 × 3.5 × 0.12 in
