Why we like this plant
Allium 'Gladiator' is treasured for its imposing stature and bold floral display, which bring a striking architectural element to the garden. Its deep purple blooms create a splendid contrast when paired with softer pastel flowers or bright summer bedding. Ideal for adding vertical interest and drama, this allium is a favourite among gardeners seeking a strong and elegant presence.
Planting guide
Plant bulbs in autumn, 15 to 20 cm deep and 20 to 25 cm apart, in well-drained soil with full sun exposure.
Care tips
Ensure soil remains well-drained to prevent bulb rot. Remove spent flower heads to encourage bulb vigour. Lift and divide bulbs every few years if clumps become overcrowded.
