The White Cloud ornamental onion is simply unmatched in its beauty. It dazzles with white, spherical flower clusters that look like if they were sprinkled with tender balls. The tall, naked stems that support the flower heads adorn the borders and lawns in May and continue to bloom until July. The densely packed single flowers with slightly protruding stamens and decorated with pale pink stripes constitute a wonderful decoration of natural, rural, Mediterranean, modern and rock gardens. The ornamental onions harmonize well with numerous species. Their inflorescences that look like magician's crystal balls will stun the onlookers with their beauty. The White Cloud ornamental onion that grows 100 to 120 cm tall is recommended for cut flowers, bouquets and other arrangements in bowls. The wilted inflorescences retain some decorative value and may complement the autumn-winter landscape.

The ornamental onion should be planted on sunny or partially shady sites. This species prefers permeable, sandy and sandy-loam soils. If it is not the case in your garden, make sure that you apply a good drainage layer underneath. The soil should be rich in humus, deeply cultivated and sufficiently moist. The bulbs should be planted in autumn, from September to November, circa 10 to 15 cm deep. This plant is winter hardy and quickly starts to grow in the spring. It requires watering during drought periods. The frequent weeding and fertilizing with multicomponent plant food is recommended during the peak of the vegetation period. You may also remove wilted inflorescences in order to strengthen the bulbs. Excavate the bulbs every 2 to 3 years and divide into progenies.
