Homeowner Growning & Maintenance TipsThe irregular nature of the stiffened Tumbleweed Onion flower pedicels gives a bursting fireworks-like effect in June, in shades of purple, violet and pink. As it dries the color fade, but the heads dry for long-lasting arrangements or on-going landscape interest.
