qw’uxwi’uts | Nodding Onion

Nodding onion is a perennial plant that grows from small, clustered bulbs. The leaves are basal, linear, and grasslike. The flowers are pink to rose-purple, and grouped in clusters that droop, appearing to nod. This species occurs in dry, open woods, exposed grassy areas, rocky crevices, and sandy soils. It is scattered, but locally common, at low elevations along the coast.

The Hul’q’umi’num’ name shown above refers to nodding onion and perhaps other native species. In the post-contact period, this name has been extended to refer to the introduced garden onion
