Long-lasting globes of tiny star-shaped flowers can grow up to 8-inches wide and bloom from late spring into summer. Great for cutting and dried arrangements. Thrives in full sun and tolerates drought when established. Loved by pollinators but tends to be ignored by deer and rabbits due to the scent of onions when leaves and stems are broken.
