Design Tips
Prairie Onion is a great short plant for anywhere in the garden and especially short borders. Its grass-like leaves start sprouting very early in the spring, providing color when most plants are still brown and dormant. Prairie Onion (Allium stellatum) is perfect for borders and edges of gardens since it rarely flops over.
Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
