Allium cernuum

Common name nodding onion

Family alliaceae

Life cycle perennial (Z4-10)

Flowers white-deep pink (summer)

In its second year after sowing, these started blooming tentatively - white. I was expecting pink, but since most of my ornamental alliums are pink, the white was a welcome change.
