An incredibly showy little plant!
Tapertip Onion has a relatively short stature, but packs quite a punch! Starting in the spring, it sends up bright balls of pink flowers. These are well liked by pollinators, and look good along the edge of a garden.
A true onion, Tapertip Onion has edible leaves and bulbs, though these should only be consumed in small quantities.
Typically found on dry rocky hillsides and volcanic areas, Tapertip Onion is very drought tolerant and tends to like a lot of sun.
