A brilliant and reliable Allium to enhance any early summer garden, ‘Gladiator’ bears large balls of opulent purple blooms during June on strong stems up to 1.5m tall.
A prestigious Award of Garden Merit has been granted to this strong cultivar for its fabulous garden qualities and show-stopping looks. Towering in the border above most other plants, ‘Gladiator’ is a handsome, architectural bloom to bring structure and bold colour into the garden as spring merges into summer.
Excellent as a cut flower, both as a vivid fresh bloom in large floral displays, and dried as a textural and striking seedhead in autumn and winter arrangements.

Show-stopping Allium ‘Giganteum’ forms impressively large heads of violet flowers which bloom during June. This wonderful variety adds instant wow-factor when the blooms burst forth on ramrod straight stems, over a metre tall in the border.
The bulbs are excellent for naturalising in a sweeping mixed border, particularly effective when punctuating the zesty green foliage of Hostas, Euphorbia, Ferns and grasses with their vivid purple full stops.
Alliums are a gardeners favourite for unrivalled drama, structure and colour in the garden which announces the beginning of summer. Adored by pollinators, the nectar-rich blooms can be left on stems to fade, adding winter texture and interest.
