Endless lavender purple blooms, cluster together into tightly packed spheres that measure up to 20cm across with Allium ‘Gladiator’ bulbs. Growing into flowers that are as eye-catching and ordered as a flower can be, they have a wonderful symmetry and an elegant silhouette, that draws you in to take a closer look.
Low maintenance and easy to grow, but with a truly magnificent floral display, they are a wonderful addition to any garden. Plant them in a large container to add colour to a patio or admire them positioned near an entrance. They also grow well mixed with an array of flowering bulbs positioned in beds and borders and can be planted in low-maintenance spaces such as wildlife gardens and gravel areas.
In addition to its wonderful floral displays, this allium has award-winning reliability and resistance to pests and diseases. This has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
To get the best floral display from your Allium ‘Gladiator’ bulb, plant it in a bright and sunny spot, in moist but free draining soil.
