Ornamental onions bear round flower heads on tall stems and are a popular source of nectar for bees and butterflies. Suitable for borders among perennials, gravel gardens and large pots; the spent bulbs remain decorative. Bulb size 10/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
