Product description
Allium 'Bubble Bath' is a charming addition to any garden, admired for its elegant white, ball-shaped flower clusters that stand tall on slender stems. This perennial is particularly valued for its ability to attract beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to the garden's ecological health. The plant's glossy green, strappy leaves add a lush base, creating a striking contrast with the light-toned blooms, which appear in late spring and continue to add beauty well into early summer.
Reaching heights of around 60-80 cm and spreading about 20-30 cm, Allium 'Bubble Bath' fits well into borders, cottage gardens, and containers, where its neat growth habit shines. Preferring a sunny location and well-drained soil, this low-maintenance plant requires little more than occasional watering during prolonged dry periods to thrive. Its hardy nature and long-lasting blooms make it an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add vertical interest and a soft colour palette to their outdoor spaces.

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.
