Allium ‘Pink Bubbles’ – Soft Pink Flower Spheres for Late Spring Impact
Allium ‘Pink Bubbles’ is a graceful ornamental onion, producing rounded clusters of soft pink, star-shaped flowers in late spring. Held on sturdy, upright stems, the airy flower heads create gentle movement and structure within borders.
The delicate pink tones blend beautifully with both pastel and stronger planting schemes, pairing well with ornamental grasses and early summer perennials. Its globe-shaped blooms add architectural interest while remaining light and elegant in appearance.
Highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, ‘Pink Bubbles’ brings both beauty and biodiversity to the garden. The blooms also make excellent cut flowers, and the dried seed heads can be left in place for additional texture after flowering.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this hardy variety is easy to grow and reliable year after year. Once established, it requires little maintenance beyond removing spent foliage as it fades.
Elegant, airy, and wonderfully versatile, Allium ‘Pink Bubbles’ is perfect for adding height, softness, and late spring colour to UK gardens.
