Pink Nodding Onion is a native clump-forming cool-weather perennial wildflower that grows in dry to moist prairies, along stream banks, and at high altitudes. At maturity, this plant reaches a height of 18-24” and features light green grass-like leaves, a long stalk that nods at its end, and small umbels of pink and white flowers. This plant can be grown in a container, attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, provides bird forage, repels moles, rodents, moths, and other insects, tolerates deer, tolerates drought and frost, self-sows, and is both edible and medicinal!
