Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant bulbs in fall, 3–4 inches deep in well-drained, fertile soil. Space 4–6 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting. Good drainage is critical- bulbs do not tolerate wet soil.

Care Tips

Water regularly during spring growth and bloom. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering before removing it. The starry pink flower heads are produced in abundance and are very attractive to pollinators in late spring. Divide crowded clumps every 3–4 years in fall. Fertilize lightly in early spring as growth begins. Largely pest-free and deer resistant. A charming, low-growing ornamental onion that naturalizes well in sunny, well-drained settings.
