Allium Prairie Onion

Notes: Minnesota Native. Light pink, white, or lavender blooms wave above the narrow strappy leaves. The blossoms persist through the heat of summer, and dry in place for a neat addition to the fall landscape. Prefers drier soils but will also do well in richer soils. Deer and rabbit resistant. Small native bees are the main pollinator.
