Good cut flower for smaller posies. A candidate for an open, low, grass-type, moist meadow planting but will prefer not to compete with strong growers or get shaded out. Attractive to pollinators. In its native range the bulbs are eaten by bears and ground squirrels and elk and deer graze new shoots. However, some sources say deer and rabbit resistant. Has been used medicinally as a tea or poultice. According to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Chicago gets its name from the Algonquin name for this plant - \u003cem\u003echigagou\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prairie Nursery, 2025 - grown on at Honey Petal Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Botanical Illustration from Wikimedia Commons; Bloom from Fritzflohrreynolds via Creative Commons through the North Carolina Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52399993159987,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/512px-Allium_cernuum_BB.jpg?v=1758115774","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/allium-cernuum","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
