Description
Allium ‘Lavender Bubbles’ are an ideal choice for those who want to make the most of their beauty, even after the late summer, when other Alliums are normally finished.
The ‘Lavender Bubbles’ will not send up its fluffy and rounded blooms until August, to punctuate borders with bright purple.
Alliums are well known for their calming colours and for appearing to ‘float’ above the foliage, making them ideal for elevating an outdoor space.
The foliage is blue-green in colour with a gentle twist at the tips of the leaves for added drama. 'Lavender Bubbles' are a lovely, low maintenance choice for sunny borders and gravel gardens.
Alliums are also ideal for encouraging wildlife into your garden, as they are always busy with the hum of pollinating insects.
Top Tips
Underplant with hostas, ferns or other low-growing, hardy perennial plants which will help to disguise the leaves as they fade.
Care Information
  • After planting, feed with a general-purpose feed such as our Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser.
  • Dried flower heads can be removed and made into indoor decorations or left on the plants to self-seed.
  • Divide Alliums every three to four years or when the plants begin to look overcrowded and blooming decreases.
  • Lift the bulbs with a garden fork or spade and pull the bulbs apart.
  • Replant some in the original location and plant the remainder in a new location.

Pruning and trimming advice for Alliums

  • The leaves die down at flowering time, so it's best to plant Alliums where this foliage is masked by that of other plants.
  • Avoid removing them while still green, as they provide the bulbs with energy for the following season.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them.
