Looking like it belongs in Alice in Wonderland, Bubble Bath Ornamental Onion, Allium, stuns with oversized lavender flowers on tall stems. From late summer into early fall,  3″ perfectly rounded clusters of light lilac-pink flowers stand atop leafless stems like lollipops. Showy slightly curled blue-green leaves look beautiful all season long. Plant Bubble Bath Ornamental Onion along walkways, in the front or middle of a perennial border, or in swaths to create a wonderfully whimsical display.

Alliums are charming plants for the perennial, rock, or herb garden. These hardworking plants reward us with beautiful flowers even in hot, dry spots. They make an ideal edging and low-care ground cover. When the foliage is bruised, it smells like onions since they are in the onion family. Butterflies and honeybees adore the flowers’ sweet nectar, but deer and rabbits steer clear of this delight.

A very easy to grow Allium, Bubble Bath Ornamental Onion will grow in most soil, even clay.

Plant in full sun in soil that has been amended with compost or other organic matter. Water well while the plant is getting established. For best blooming give consistent moisture especially when the plant is setting up buds and blooming.
