Allium
Ornamental Onion
Our selections are embellished versions of the common culinary bulbs. Prospering in a sunny well-drained site, these pest-resistant Alliums add flair to the garden, your favorite container and a fresh or dried arrangement.
True to its name, ‘Gladiator’ is a crowd pleaser that asserts fantastic giant globes shouldered by tall hefty stems and rugged sword-shaped green basal foliage. Vibrant purple blooms, 4 to 5 in. wide, exuding a sweet yet pungent aroma, are composed of tight set green-eyed florets with a metallic lustre. A hybrid between Allium hollandicum and most likely Allium macleanii, this Allium can be staged throughout a stand of white and yellow Verbascums for spectacular colors and divergent flower forms.
Blooms May–June
Size: 3' 0" – 4' 0" high x 8" – 12" wide.
