Allium nutans Bulb

Allium nutans is a compact and ornamental species of flowering onion, valued for its gracefully arching, strap-like blue-green foliage and charming umbels of nodding, lilac-pink flowers. Blooming in mid to late summer, the rounded flower heads are held just above the foliage and attract a variety of pollinators, making it a great addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating a range of conditions once established. With its tidy, clump-forming habit, Allium nutans is well-suited to rock gardens, borders, and gravel planting schemes, where it brings soft colour and movement. It naturalises slowly and remains well-behaved, offering seasonal interest with little maintenance. Ideal for smaller garden spaces or massed in low drifts, this species blends well with grasses and other summer perennials. Its understated elegance and adaptability make it a dependable choice for adding texture and charm to sunny areas.
