Narrow-Leaf Onion (Allium amplectens)
A native bulbous perennial well adapted to dry, well-drained sites in western North America. It thrives in USDA Zones roughly 4 through 8. It grows in full sun to mostly sunny spots, and prefers soils that are well-drained—even if they are sandy, rocky, serpentine‐derived or clay‐based. Once established it handles drought conditions quite well, particularly summer dryness.
At maturity it typically reaches about 12 to 16 inches tall with a similar spread when planted in clumps. The plant produces delightful globe‐shaped flower heads composed of 10 to 50 small starry white to pale pink blooms, usually in late spring to early summer.
The foliage is narrow and modest, making the flower display the main attraction. Maintenance is minimal—ensure good drainage and do not over‐water in summer. Landscape uses include rock gardens, dry slopes, native plantings, containers or mass drifts for impact. Its strong deer resistance, pollinator appeal, low maintenance and adaptability to challenging soils make it a smart choice for dry, sunny garden sites. Plant bulbs before ground freezes in the Fall.
