Elegant, tough, deer-resistant, and edible - no wonder that Nodding Onion is one of our most popular items. Its charming, drooping clusters of white-to-pink-to-purple flowers add a delicate pop to gardens in mid-summer, attracting many pollinators. It performs well in moist soils and full to partial sun. It can persist many years, and, like some of its relatives, the flowers, foliage, and bulbs can be used for cooking.
