Maintenance Tips for Allium 'Lavender Bubbles'

Allium 'Lavender Bubbles' is a low-maintenance plant that thrives with minimal care. Here are some essential tips to ensure your plant flourishes:

• Sunlight: Plant in full sun for best flowering performance. It can tolerate partial shade but will produce fewer blooms.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils that can lead to bulb rot.
• Watering: Water moderately during the growing season, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy. Reduce watering once the foliage begins to die back.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooming and to maintain a tidy appearance. Allow the foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for the next season.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous growth and abundant blooms.
• Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but keep it away from the bulbs to prevent rot.

1. Site Selection: Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil.

3. Watering: Water thoroughly at planting and continue to water moderately during the growing season.
4. Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid direct contact with the bulbs.
5. Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers, allow foliage to die back naturally, and divide clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding.
