General Information
Mongolian Gem Ornamental Onion is a very nice perennial that will work well in different areas of your landscape. Nice base of foliage, followed by flowers atop tall stems. Long, narrow, arching blue-green foliage forms a growing season long base for this ornamental onion. Foliage can take a bronze-yellow color in the fall. Flowers appear beginning sometime mid-summer, continuing into the early fall. They are 2 inch wide globes of tiny lavender-pink flowers. The strong stems keep the flowers from drooping over.
