Ornamental onions perform beautifully in the garden, blooming throughout the summer; they add a different spectacular or architectural dimension; wonderful cut and dried flowers; perform well in containers; drought tolerant; loved by bees and butterflies while avoided by deer and rabbits. Our pollinators are vitally important to the sustainability of our gardens and food crops for insects and birds. If each of us participate in healthy gardening practices and chooses some of the pollinator attracting plants, we can collectively make a HUGE difference.
