Countless tiny star-like florets appear from this single Allium ‘Gladiator’ bulb to create a captivating display. Enjoy a vibrant purple burst of colour as countless miniature buds, all neatly clustered together in a tidy sphere, stand together on a sturdy stem.
This hardy and reliable Allium is low maintenance and easy to care for making it a great choice for anyone from novice to experienced gardeners. It was given the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit for its reliability in the garden, and it will come back every year to create a wonderful focal point in your garden.
Preferring to be positioned in a bright and sunny spot, this versatile bloom not only delights in beds and borders but can also be enjoyed as a cut flower for around the home. In addition to this, it is loved by wildlife and attractive to bees and other pollinators.
When grown in groups these wonderful blooms make a statement but look particularly impactful as part of a relaxed cottage garden style among roses and peonies.
