Maintenance Tips
- Consider deadheading spent flowers to prevent excessive spread by seedlings
- Seedlings may need to be removed to control spread
- Note that the leaves of Nodding Onion die back in summer after flowering is complete. This is not cause for concern but rather part of the normal annual changes this plant undergoes.
