This particular cultivar showcases spherical flower heads that resemble delicate bubbles, featuring a charming shade of soft lavender. The flower heads can measure up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, creating a whimsical and captivating visual display. Rising atop tall, sturdy stems, the blooms hover gracefully above the surrounding foliage, adding a touch of grace and elegance to the garden. 'Lavender Bubbles' not only adds a playful element to the landscape but also serves as a valuable food source for pollinators, making it a favorite among both gardeners and beneficial insects.

Height and Spread:

• Height: ALLIUM 'Lavender Bubbles' typically grows to a height of 20 to 24 inches (50 to 60 cm), elevating its blooms above the surrounding plants and creating a charming visual spectacle.
• Spread: The flower heads of 'Lavender Bubbles' can have a spread of approximately 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm), providing a substantial and captivating impact in the garden.

Maintenance:

• Planting: Select a sunny location with well-draining soil to plant ALLIUM 'Lavender Bubbles.' Plant the bulbs in the fall before the first frost, at a depth of approximately 6 inches (15 cm) and spaced 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) apart. Prepare the soil with organic matter to encourage healthy growth.

• Watering: While 'Lavender Bubbles' prefers well-draining soil, it requires regular watering during its active growth phase in the spring. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering after the flowering period.

• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weed growth. Ensure the mulch does not touch the emerging shoots in spring.

• Fertilizing: ALLIUM 'Lavender Bubbles' generally does not require frequent fertilization. Incorporate a balanced fertilizer into the soil during planting and avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients may lead to lush foliage but fewer flowers.

• Deadheading: After the blooms have faded and dried, remove the spent flower heads to prevent self-seeding and encourage the plant's energy to focus on bulb development.

• Dividing: Every 3 to 4 years, consider dividing crowded clumps of ALLIUM 'Lavender Bubbles' during the dormant season (late summer or early fall). This practice promotes healthier growth and better flowering.

• Pest and Disease: 'Lavender Bubbles' is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it is recommended to inspect the plants regularly for signs of potential issues, such as aphids or fungal diseases, and take appropriate action if necessary.
