Description: Elegant and delicate, these tiny white or sometimes pale pink flowers are truly beautiful. Blooming in early summer, the flowers poke above the grasses and beg you to take a closer look. Plant these in dry sunny gardens close to the path where they can be enjoyed. A great choice for a rock garden or naturalized meadow planting. Bees are particularly fond of Nodding Onions.

Found in Nature: Meadows, ditches, sunny slopes and open woodlands.
