Product Description
Nodding onion belongs to the lily family and is known for its unique ball-shaped clusters of white-pink flowers and flat leaves. The fragrant leaves remind us that this plant was once widely used in cooking (the entire plant is edible).
Tolerant to black walnut trees, drought and poor soil.
Best in rock gardens, border fronts, cottage gardens, prairie or mass plantings. It may self-seed a bit too much, so it's better for medium to bigger beds or areas. It will naturalize in meadows or woodland settings.

Excellent arrival
The nodding onions arrived healthy, vibrant, and full for the container they came. Judging by their size, they will certainly bloom this year. As always, USPreannials takes pride and care into their plants. I'm looking forward to building the native flower garden in the suburban homelandscape this year with your stellar plants. Thank-you
