Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Ping Pong, often admired for its white colouring, is a bulb variety especially well suited to borders.

Allium ‘Ping Pong’ brings poised, architectural clarity to the late-spring border. Each tall, straight stem carries a perfectly rounded head of densely packed white florets — crisp, composed, and wonderfully modern in feel. It is equally at home rising through fresh green perennials or standing in quiet contrast to soft grasses, and it cuts beautifully for clean-lined arrangements.

Where to Plant:

Allium 'Ping Pong' needs full-sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant bulb from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 20-30cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting bulb according to local conditions.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
