Notes
'Mount Everest' ornamental onion (Allium 'Mount Everest') is a bulb for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its white, baseball-sized spheres sit atop stems about three feet tall and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Columbine, Coral Sunset peony, and Carlton daffodil.
