Description
Bubble Bath Ornamental Onion is a clumping herbaceous perennial with wide, slightly twisting blue green grass-like foliage. Sturdy upright stems sport numerous fragrant global clusters of soft lavender flowers at the ends in mid to late summer. Grows best with light afternoon shade in the South and dry to medium well-drained soils. When crushed the foliage smells like onion.
