Description / Allium Party Balloons Ornamental Onion Bulbs
Party Balloons Allium brings playful color and structure to the late spring and early summer garden with large 8 inch purple flower spheres that seem to float above the foliage like festive balloons. Held on tall upright stems, the rounded blooms create a bold architectural presence while adding texture, movement, and vibrant color to perennial borders and mixed plantings. In some cases, a single bulb may even produce two flower heads, an unusual trait among larger flowering alliums.
Butterflies and bees are drawn to the nectar rich blooms, making Party Balloons a valuable addition to pollinator gardens. The dramatic flower heads combine beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, catmint, peonies, and other sun loving perennials. Use it in borders, mass plantings, containers, or cutting gardens where the distinctive blooms can be enjoyed fresh or dried.
Grow Party Balloons Allium in full sun and well drained soil. Plants reach approximately 24 inches tall and 10 inches wide and perform well in normal, sandy, or slightly acidic soils. Hardy in Zones 4 through 8, this easy care variety is naturally resistant to deer, rabbits, pests, and diseases while tolerating drought once established. Leave bulbs undisturbed to allow clumps to multiply and provide years of dependable garden color.
