{"product_id":"allium-gladiator-3l","title":"Allium 'Gladiator' 3L","description":"\u003cp\u003eAllium '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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge, purple, spherical blooms add dramatic height and interest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow maintenance and resistant to deer and rabbits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to know\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrives in full sun and well-drained soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant bulbs in autumn, 15-20 cm deep, with pointed ends up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater regularly during the growing season, especially in dry spells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed the bulbs for next year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider planting in groups for a more dramatic display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Months\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay, June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEventual Height and Spread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: approximately 100-150 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread: approximately 20-30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCHRAM NURSERIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46494352834887,"sku":"0043519","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/8821\/4500\/products\/fd22665wh.jpg?v=1680887738","url":"https:\/\/www.newlands.ie\/en-gb\/products\/allium-gladiator-3l","provider":"Newlands Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
