This native onion's scent and taste make it distinctly unappealing to deer and rabbits, which makes it a smart front-of-border pick in yards with heavy browse pressure. Plant it along the edge, or interplant it among more palatable species to help buffer them. Its nodding clusters of pink-white summer flowers are also a reliable draw for a range of pollinators.
