"Ping Pong" ornamental onion is an extremely decorative plant. Its attractive, slightly fluffy clusters of flowers grow on long stems that stick out from long, green leaves. They stand out from other plants like a white blushing balls. They consist of dozens of small, tubular flowers that display white anthers while in full bloom. It grows 70 to 100 centimetres tall and is a truly unique species that adds diversity and enriches flower beds and planters. They are perfectly suited for planting in showcase places in front of the house or for planting together with subtle ornamental grasses around the terrace. It attracts attention when grown in larger groups, delighting with white colour and a hint of pink. They add elegance and style to bouquets. The large white balls can be dried and used in magnificent decorative compositions.

Ornamental onion belongs to plants that are easy to grow. In order to ensure the spectacular blooming, plant it on a sunny site, in a permeable, fertile soil. Ornamental onion and garlic bulbs do not tolerate excess water and prefer sites that do not waterlog. They grow best in a sandy or sandy-loam soil. The most stunning plants grow in cool and wet weather. Ornamental onions react well to feeding with multi-component fertilizers. Their characteristic scent repels rats and voles from the garden. Do not forget that ornamental onions and garlics are bulbous plants. Their leaves start to die when they start to flower. We recommend to plant them in places where the bottom parts of the plant are covered by other species.

Onion bulbs should be planted in autumn, between September and November. This species winters well in the ground, it might require covering before the winter in colder regions only. Every few years the bulbs need to be excavated to separate the new bulblets to let them grow properly. Do it after the flowering season.
