🌿 Flower of the Week: Allium 🌿
Bold. Beautiful. Blooming across the UK this week.
Here at Hip Poppy, we’re celebrating the majestic Allium — a true late-spring showstopper and our pick for Flower of the Week.
As May unfolds, Alliums are beginning to bloom in gardens, meadows, and flower farms across the UK. Their striking globe-shaped heads, often in shades of purple, pink, or white, bring architectural elegance to beds and arrangements alike.
Why We Love Them
Alliums add drama. Whether you’re designing a shop window, setting a wedding table, or refreshing your hallway with seasonal stems, these bold beauties bring structure and presence. At Hip Poppy, we love pairing them with soft wild greenery or meadow-style florals for a fresh, countryside feel — contemporary but full of character.
The Language of Flowers
In the language of flowers, Alliums represent:
Unity
Patience
Good Fortune
They carry a quiet strength — perfect for thoughtful gifts or long-lasting displays that say more than words.
Blooming Now in the UK
Alliums like ‘Purple Sensation’, ‘Globemaster’, and ‘Purple Rain’ are at their peak from mid-May into early June. You’ll see them in gardens, floral displays, and even hedgerows — standing tall and swaying gently with the breeze.
These long-lasting blooms also attract bees and pollinators, making them a great choice for both beauty and biodiversity 🌿
