12-18 inch delicate native plant. Pink or white flowers "nod" from the stem, turning lilac as they age. This member of the lily family was used to flavor food and treat croup, colic, colds, fevers, kidney stones, dropsy, respiratory disorders. An endangered plant now found primarily in protected nature preseves. Low maintenance.

I found this sweet little allium on some land behind my house slated for destruction. I dug up about 7 bulbs, and they are growing wonderfully. They transplant well and multiply each year, even in my freezing zone 3 garden.
