    Details

    Prairie Onion (Allium stellatum) is a tough, drought-tolerant native bulb that brings beauty and resilience to sunny, dry landscapes. This 32-plant pack makes it easy to fill a garden or naturalized area with charming, late-summer blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.

    Each plant reaches 1–2 feet tall and is topped with round, pink-to-purple flower clusters made up of star-shaped blossoms. These ornamental blooms rise above narrow, grass-like leaves that release a mild onion scent when crushed. Prairie Onion is perfect for xeriscaping, rocky borders, or sandy prairie-style gardens, where it thrives in well-drained, sun-drenched soils.

    Why Choose a Tray of Prairie Onion?

    • Late-summer color – Adds interest when many other natives are winding down.
    • Supports pollinators – Excellent nectar source for bees and butterflies.
    • Low-maintenance & hardy – Ideal for dry, rocky, or sandy soils.

    Plant Prairie Onion in full sun and watch it flourish with minimal care, providing a burst of summer color and a valuable resource for pollinators!
