Allium cernuum

Allium cernuum is native to western North America and Mexico. Dainty chandeliers formed of dozens of small claret pink flowers hanging off the nodding stems so the bees have to hang upside down to get at the flowers, sometimes several heads form in a succession. Easy to grow and seeding themselves in lighter soils in the sun. Delivered as fresh dug flowering size plants rather than dry bulbs. 

Planting Instructions

Allium cernuum is best in lighter soils and planted in sunny conditions. We deliver them as plants rather than bulbs and they should be planted shallowly with 3-4" (8-10 cm) spacing between plants and watered in if it is dry.
