Everwilde Farms - 1/4 lb Nodding Onion Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

This perennial wildflower attracts butterflies with its tiny, pink, bell-shaped blossoms that form a globe at the top of the stem. Not only are the flowers pretty, the onion-flavored leaves and flowers are also edible, and may also be used in salads or as a garnish. Nodding Onion grows in nearly every state in the Union as well as in Canada, since nodding wild onion seed adapts well to many different soils. This hardy, pink flowered perennial thrives in rocky bluffs, forests, deserts, and prairies. Because nodding onion sprung up everywhere in the wild, it has a long history of use by Native American tribes and early settlers of North America. Traditional medicinal uses include treatments for congestion, fevers, and infection. The tiny bulbs could also be dried for culinary use in the winter. Because nodding onion is not as common today as in the past, it is a protected plant in some states.
