Does anyone know of a source in the US that sells organic alliums?  Trying to stay away from neonics.

Just clarifying, you are looking for ornamental alliums rather than garlic, shallots, etc.?

That would depend on the type you are looking for. Bunching and walking onions are pretty easy to find organic online. Organic onion seeds you can find at grow organic dot com

We can happily say that all of our perennials and wildflower seeds are neonicotinoid free.

I would call to verify though:

Prairie Moon Nursery is one.

You could send an email to Hudson Valley Seed Co. They sell some ornamental alliums, not organic, however they try to be mostly organic / safe. Maybe Fedco too.

Thank you all.  I have contacted a few.  Will see what happens.
