Products › Autumn planted bulbs to flower in the Spring › Allium › Allium cernuum

The nodding Allium of western North America and Mexico. Pink flowers hang from the tip of the nodding stem and tumble down forming a chandelier like flower head 10-18" ( 25-45 cm) from the ground in July. There may be successive flower stems, which do not carry the Allium odour and can be cut for the house. Each head may carry 20-30 flowers and in light soils they self sow. Suited to sunny open conditions in lighter soils.

Planting instructions

Best in lighter soils and planted in the sun. Plant shallowly and water in if dry, with 3-4" (7.5-10 cm) spacing between plants.
