Nodding Onion features large, purplish-pink flower heads that nod downward on maybe 12-inch stalks.

     Nodding Onion has tiny and bell-shaped blooms, usually pinkish but sometimes white, on leafless stalks.

     All parts of the plant smell onion-y, and indeed Nodding Onion once was used in cooking or eaten raw.

     Nodding Onion attracts butterflies and makes a great addition to a native plant garden.  It's not terribly aggressive and can be dead-headed to prevent unwanted seed spread.
