Product description
Allium 'Serendipity' is a delightful addition to any garden, known for its striking lavender-pink, globe-shaped flower clusters and attractive, blue-grey foliage. This herbaceous perennial is loved for its ornamental value and its ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its spherical blooms rise above neat clumps of foliage, adding texture and colour to garden borders, containers, and wildlife-friendly spaces. Perfect for bringing a pop of colour to sunny spots, it also pairs well with other summer-flowering perennials.
Growing up to 40-60 cm in height and spreading around 30-45 cm, Allium 'Serendipity' thrives in well-drained soil with full sun but can tolerate some partial shade. This hardy plant is drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for low-maintenance gardens. It requires minimal care beyond occasional watering during dry spells. With a bloom period from July to August, it adds vibrant colour and interest to your garden during the summer months, while its architectural form and long-lasting blooms make it a garden favourite.

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.
