Ornamental Onion

Ornamental Onion.

Allium nutans ‘Luna’ is a refined ornamental onion (allium) valued for its soft colour palette, tidy habit and exceptional reliability in the garden. Forming a clump of elegant, blue-green, strap-like foliage, this perennial produces rounded heads of pale lilac to silvery-pink flowers that rise above the leaves in mid to late summer. The blooms are long-lasting and highly attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinators, adding life and movement to garden spaces.

Ideal for borders, mass plantings and contemporary landscapes, Allium ‘Luna’ brings structure and calm contrast among grasses, perennials and low shrubs. Its foliage remains attractive well beyond flowering, providing texture and form even when not in bloom. This variety performs best in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil, making it well suited to a wide range of Australian garden conditions.

Low maintenance and drought tolerant once established, Allium nutans ‘Luna’ is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking seasonal interest with minimal effort. Its neat growth habit makes it equally effective in smaller gardens or as a repeating feature in larger landscapes, delivering understated elegance and dependable performance year after year.
