Allium cernuum
Allium cernuum
nodding onion
A charming onion with clusters of pink and white flowers hanging from stalks up to about 18 inches tall. Blooms from spring through early summer. This species does not produce bulblets, making it less invasive than many other onions. Under good conditions, it will spread by seed. Native throughout most of the United States but not California. Prefers partial shade with occasional water. Deer resistant.
