Notes

'Bath' ornamental onion (Allium 'Bath') is a bulb for borders, pollinator gardens, containers, and rock gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It blooms in spring and summer, and the fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Sorbet peony, Betony, and Sage.
