Vigorous plants with larger, darker-pink flowers, and earlier flowering than the standard species. Allium cernuum, known as nodding onion or lady's leek, grows in open areas in North America. It is a unique summer-flowering ornamental onion that has straight stems, topped with egg-shaped flower heads. They start off completely chartreuse-green before turning maroon-claret at the tip and finally becoming overall deep reddish purple. Flowering lasts for many weeks.
