Blue Eddy Allium
Allium senescens ‘Blue Eddy’ is one of the most intriguing ornamental onions to emerge in recent years. This low-growing variety is beloved for its tightly-whorled, grass-like foliage that has a grayish-blue hue. Clusters of long-lasting lavender-pink flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a terrific addition to pollinator gardens, rock gardens and container plantings.
A. senescens is naturally deer resistant, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance, requiring very little water or care once established. It thrives in full sun to part shade, with a preference for some afternoon shade in hot climates. Plant in well-drained soil with average moisture levels – avoid overwatering. Deadhead spent flowers to control spread and promote stronger blooms. Propagate by division in spring or autumn.
