Allium ‘Bobblehead’ | Proven Winners®

Providing the same ease and beauty of A. ‘Serendipity’, ‘Bobblehead’ is a much larger and robust plant, boasting bigger blooms, an earlier bloom time and a lighter-colored flower.  Midsummer brings globe-like 3-3½” pale lilac flowers which last many weeks before leaving behind satisfyingly spherical seedheads.  Each individual leaf has it’s own twist and the foliage is a beautiful glaucous blue-green.  Sunny spaces and good drainage will produce the best results, but ‘Bobblehead’ is capable of surviving in a wide variety of soils, while also being drought and heat tolerant.  If the foliage is bruised or the clump cut into, the plant will emit a strong onion smell, making it more deer and rabbit resistant.

Alliums offer the perfect charm for rock or herb gardens.  Honeybees and butterflies love the sweet nectar.

Common Name: Ornamental Onion
