Spend £60 or more for free delivery (otherwise £6.99 delivery charge) within 7 working days, to all UK mainland postcodes. All plants are picked and packed, fresh from our own nursery in Herefordshire and sent directly to you.
Allium ‘Lucky Balloons’ is a compact, cheerful variety that we think lends a playful feel to the garden. Unlike other alliums that produce one stem with one bloom on top, ‘Lucky Balloons’ produces two or three multiple stems with multiple blooms per plant – giving the appearance of cluster of balloons.
Reaching just 30-40cm in height it is a perfect Allium for smaller spaces and offers long-lasting color from late spring to early summer. The nectar-rich blooms are a pollinator magnet as well as making a lovely cut flower, fresh or dried, particularly as seed heads. Once established, this low-maintenance perennial will reliably return year after year, making ‘Lucky balloons’ a beautiful and versatile garden perennial.
