Description
Cute isn’t a word that comes to mind when most folks hear “onion”, but Nodding Onion is out to change that. This petite wild onion delights in early summer with purple, star-like clusters of fuzzy-looking flowers. Each is fixed to a stalk that bends towards the ground right at its top, providing the inspiration for the plant’s common name. Native all the way from New York State to New Mexico and Oregon, don’t let this little onion fool you, either: it’s highly adaptable, succeeding in most gardens with good seasonal spring moisture and tolerates both periodic drought and saturation with ease. This species is unbothered by clay soils and self-sows in favorable sites. Excellent in perennial borders and meadow gardens and makes a unique and attractive cut flower.
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (801) 769-0300 or contact us by email or chat.
