Product description
Allium 'Lavender Bubbles' is a striking ornamental onion that produces eye-catching lavender-purple blooms in early summer. The flowers form dense, rounded heads that rise on tall, upright stems, making them a perfect addition to borders, beds, and containers. This perennial not only brings vibrant colour but also attracts pollinators, enhancing the biodiversity of any garden. Its strong architectural form makes it ideal for both modern and traditional garden designs.
Growing to a height of 60 cm with a spread of 30 cm, Allium 'Lavender Bubbles' is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance yet impactful plants. Ideal for sunny spots, it’s perfect for creating a focal point or adding structure to a mixed perennial border. Regular deadheading can encourage prolonged blooming, while the seed heads can provide added interest later in the season.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
