Description

Prepare to be blown away by 'Lavender Bubbles'! A fabulous allium that keeps colour coming through summer! This spectacular late season bloomer, from July to September, fires up with punchy, lavender-purple pom-poms that hover like glowing bubbles above neat, twist-tipped blue-green foliage.

The architectural blooms are not only eye-catching, they're long-lasting too, giving you weeks of flower power through the late summer lull.

Perfect for sunny borders, gravel gardens, or anywhere you want bold splashes of colour and structure. The foliage is a lovely blue-green, and the flowers stand proudly on upright stems. These blooms don’t just turn heads, they attract bees and butterflies by the dozen.

What's more, it's fully hardy, drought tolerant once established, and needs very little maintenance. It even holds its structure beautifully into autumn, making it great for dried arrangements or simply enjoying the seed heads in the garden.

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

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
