Over the Years - Nodding Onions are a no fuss native plant, we haven't noticed them taking over like wild onions seem to do. You might miss this unassuming little allium if planted solo, so give them a "choir" and watch them sing!
All in a Name - Ever wonder why we name our nursery Nodding Onion Gardens? The answer is simple, it was my friend and Cleveland Metroparks retired naturalist Dave Dvorak's favorite native wildflower.
