Allium ‘Bobblehead’

Allium ‘Bobblehead’ is a charming ornamental onion known for its whimsical, globe-shaped blooms and compact form. In late spring to early summer, it produces rounded clusters of lavender-purple flowers held aloft on sturdy, upright stems, creating a playful “bobblehead” effect in the garden. The blooms are attractive to pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, and provide long-lasting color in sunny borders and rock gardens.

This compact allium reaches about 12 to 18 inches tall and naturalizes well in well-drained soils. The strappy, blue-green foliage emerges in spring and dies back after blooming, typical of bulbous plants. It is both deer and rodent resistant, making it a low-maintenance and dependable addition to the garden.
