Allium 'Gladiator' is a majestic ornamental onion, prized for its large, spherical blooms composed of hundreds of tiny star-shaped, purple flowers. These impressive flower heads are borne atop tall, sturdy stems, rising above strap-shaped green foliage that typically begins to wither before the blooms emerge in late spring to early summer. 'Gladiator' is a hybrid allium, known for its robust growth and large, eye-catching blooms that can reach up to 6 inches in diameter. This plant is ideal for adding height and architectural interest to borders, beds, and cottage gardens. It also serves as an excellent attractant for bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.
