Native Wild Flower Seeds & Potted Plants for Home Landscaping and Prairie Restoration

Allium stellatum, known as Prairie Onion or Fall Glade Onion, is an excellent choice for the rock garden.   The attractiveness of this flower is created by delightfully impressive clusters of deep reddish pink flowers atop 12-18 inch stems.  Each small flower has 6 pointed star-like petals, with 6 yellow stamens that extend beyond the petals providing beautiful color contrast.  Plant in average, well drained soil in full sun with Showy Beardtongue, Missouri Black-eyed Susan, and Glade Coneflower.  This native wildflower is an excellent addition to the rock garden and is not invasive.
