Growing and Maintenance Tips
Allium 'Bubble Bath' s a low maintenance, reliable perennial that will attract pollinators. It is easy to grow in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. It performs best in full sun but will tolerate some light afternoon shade. Alliums generally tolerate a wide range of soils including sandy soils but will not grow well in heavy clay. This allium is a true bulb on a stout rhizome that forms a clump which can be lifted and divided in either spring or fall.
