This small clump forming perennial onion has grass like leaves that could reach 2 feet but are usually shorter and produces a clover like rose purple flower in spring.  Best in moist, fairly rich soil in sun or part shade.  Evergreen in mild winter areas but will grow anywhere.  Leaves and flowers are edible.
