  • Plant Care

    Ornamental Onions are remarkably easy to maintain and drought-tolerant once established. Remove spent flowers to prevent self-seeding and maintain plant energy. After blooming, allow foliage to die back naturally as this helps feed the bulb for next seasons growth. These plants are naturally pest-resistant and deer-resistant, making them an excellent choice for problem areas.

    Planting Instructions

    Plant bulbs in fall, approximately 4-6 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart. Choose a location with well-draining soil to prevent bulb rot. Add organic matter to improve soil structure if needed. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of mulch to protect bulbs during winter. For container growing, ensure proper drainage and plant bulbs closer together for a fuller display.
