Nodding Onion – 1 Live Plant, 1-Gallon Pot – Allium cernuum

Nodding Onion (Allium cernuum) is a North American native herbaceous perennial recognized for its distinctive, downward-facing clusters of delicate lilac-pink flowers. Its slender, grass-like green foliage forms tidy clumps, while gracefully curved flowering stems support rounded clusters of small, bell-shaped blossoms.

This ornamental allium typically flowers from late spring through summer, depending on climate and location. Its nodding flower heads attract bees and other pollinators, making it suitable for native plant gardens, pollinator landscapes, naturalized meadows, and mixed perennial borders.

Nodding Onion grows well in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates relatively dry conditions and can adapt to rocky or gravelly garden sites. Its clumping growth habit also makes it suitable for decorative outdoor containers.

This listing includes 1 live Nodding Onion plant in the 1-gallon pot size category. The seller has not specified shipping height, root condition, or whether the nursery pot is included during shipping. As an herbaceous perennial, it may arrive dormant or without visible foliage during colder months.
