    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A well-behaved collector's onion with excellent ornamental value. No fears of rampant self-sowing or aerial bulbils colonizing willy-nilly. This is makes a dense grassy clump with relatively large pendant bells of gentle blue flowers on 10" stems. Easy, deer-proof, quite hardy.
