What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.
The globe-style flowers of Prairie Onion provide a nice pop of color along borders in late summer. Prairie Onion attracts many pollinators. It’s a staple in our garden designs and grows well even in poor soils with clay or gravel. The round flower heads look nice in winter, too. Deer and rabbit resistant.

Design Tips
Prairie Onion is a great short plant for anywhere in the garden and especially short borders. Its grass-like leaves start sprouting very early in the spring, providing color when most plants are still brown and dormant. Prairie Onion (Allium stellatum) is perfect for borders and edges of gardens since it rarely flops over.
