The view of the flower garden in the summer months is a real balm for the eyes, but what when many plants lose their charm with autumn. In order for our garden to bloom until late autumn and thus beautify the surroundings of the house even after the end of summer, we can plant some perennials.
One of them is ornamental onions. It is a very popular perennial in recent years that thrives in a hot sunny spot and likes rich and well-drained soil. They can be planted in the fall (these will bloom in the spring) or in the spring (to make them bloom in the fall). The view of the upright stems with large, purple inflorescences is a real feast for the eyes. Their good feature is also long-lasting flowering: it lasts from 3 weeks to 1 month.

This looks amazing I have seen flowers like this but smaller on what we call, “Chives!” which are like onions.
Thank you, Pamela. You are right. There are many types of this flower. This flower belongs to the “giant” species of this plant.

Yes, I saw this plant and photographed it in the Arboretum. It also blooms in white.
I would have guessed Alabama Red, but you gave me the answer (white)!
Miraculously, we do not see this plant in red. 😊
i would suspect there are few flowers on earth that are Alabama red!
This is the first time i see this plant
This plant is very popular in our country.
Very different looking and with a gorgeous hue of color. Actually I have never heard of an onion ornamental flower. Thanks for presenting it here….
Thank you. This plant is really something special. It is very popular in our country.
Now, this is a blooming onion!
Now is the right time to bloom this plant.
It’s also the right time to order a Blooming Onion from Outback Steakhouse.
haha … I’m not sure they would deliver it to my country 😊
Such a beautiful photo! I love these flowers but I missed them blooming this year.
Thank you, Ellie. I saw huge flowers in the Arboretum Park.
I know about onion flowers as even the commercial onions have similar flowers.
You are right. This plant belongs to the genus Onion.
It looks very lovely and I like the color
Thank you. This is my favorite color.
