Allium nutans - 2026

Allium nutans is a graceful ornamental onion species known for its nodding, globular umbels of soft lilac to pale purple flowers that create a delicate, airy effect in the garden. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity. Its slender, arching stems and fine-textured foliage make it an excellent choice for naturalistic plantings, meadow gardens, or mixed perennial borders. Easy to grow from bulbs, it thrives in well-drained soil and is valued for its low-maintenance habit and subtle, elegant floral display. This species adds movement and softness to garden designs, complementing bolder, structural plants.
