New for 2026 - Allium cernuum - Beautiful and edible native allium. Nodding onions can be found wild in a large swath of our continent, from BC to Ontario and southward. They form clumping perennial patches. Slender green leaves are eaten like chives, and the small bulbs are pungent and good. Bulbs are best harvested in the fall winter while dividing and transplanting mature clumps. But the flowers are arguably the main event; distinctly pendulous pink orbs which attract many native pollinators. 40 seeds
