Each year, we get compliments from neighbors about the interesting purple flowers in our front garden.  And every time, I smile and say, "They're onion flowers!"

They're cheap and simple to plant with multiple rewards.  Who could ask for more.

     Enjoy,

Onion Flowers

By Nancy Kamp

You can order all kinds of beautiful bulbs from the allium family, or you can get great garden results and spend very little!

I buy inexpensive (pennies per bulb) onion and garlic sets, and plant them in among my flowers.  The resulting white and purple blooms are striking.

Plant your bulbs a few inches deep after all danger of frost has passed.  Water occasionally.  Pull up a few onions if you have an vegetable emergency in your kitchen or leave them in place to reappear next year.

Please be aware your flowers will grow to be 14" to 20" in height.  The stems will break in a strong wind.  And a bouquet of onion flowers, while beautiful, leaves something to be desired in the scent department.
