Allium cernuum - Nodding Wild Onion

Nodding Wild Onion - never did a name mean so much on a plant.  Pretty pink flowers nod towards the ground with the scent of - you guessed it - onion. 

With full sun, Nodding Wild Onion will reach 1 to 3 feet and blooms anywhere from June through August and prefers moist soil.

How To Plant Nodding Wild Onion Seeds:

Direct sow seeds into prepared soil in late fall once soil temps are below 50 degrees (usually mid to late November).  Can also be planted in winter during natural freeze/thaw cycles and early spring. Plant shallow, no deeper than 1/8 - 1/4 inch deep and lightly rake to work seed in. Plant in full sun to partial shade. Can take 3 growing seasons to fully establish.
