Pollinator Plant Spotlight! Allium cernuum or Nodding Onion
Hi everybody! Lori here with the first in my new series focusing on a single pollinator plant. This video is focused on #nodding onion, its native range, growing conditions and how it supports pollinators.
I would love for you to like and subscribe to my channel and join me on making my gardens a pollinator habitat!

How many of you have this allium? I love, love how many #bees there are on this plant!

That's on my list. I haven't found any locally, but I keep my eyes open whenever I visit a nursery. I've heard that the onion smell of them keeps fire ants away so you don't have to worry about them building mounds in your garden. I'd be keen to try it just for that!

I have never seen this in a nursery. I had to order some. It is forming bigger clumps, so I should be able to divide this fall to propagate. I need to put these in my lawn if they repel ants LOL!

@@pollinatorgardenfun I've heard they repel ants, but who really knows. I guess you can test it pretty easy by sticking a bulb into an ant nest and watching what happens over the next few days. :D

Which rudbecki is that in the background ?? Cheyenne spirit??? Does it reseed for you??

@pollinatorgardenfun 7 месяцев назад

It is Cherokee sunset. Isn’t it beautiful? It very sparsely reseeds. I wish it did more, but it will give maybe 3 plants each year. I really baby any volunteers I find.
