Nodding Onion (Allium cernuum) 12-pack of plugs
Can be shipped.
***12-pack MINIMUM ORDER***: If ordering 12-packs, you must order *at least six 12-packs*
What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.
The beautiful nodding flowers of Nodding Onion look great when massed on the border of a garden or planted in a meadow. Early growing leaves provide a splash of green when most plants are still dormant and brown. Nodding Onion is an excellent plant for boulevards and sidewalk plantings because it stays short and doesn’t flop over, it’s very hardy, and it fills in areas by seeding itself.

Design Tips
Nodding Onion is a great short plant for borders or anywhere in the garden. It’s a staple of many of our garden designs. The grass-like leaves start sprouting very early in the spring, providing green color when most plants are still brown and dormant. Nodding Onion (Allium cernuum) is versatile—even growing in clay, sandy or gravely soil. After a few years it starts to self-seed in the garden, but because its seed are heavy and round they mostly fall around the parent plant and don’t spread throughout the garden, unlike like a lot of self-seeding plants that blow all over.
Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
