Allium × hollandicum 'Gladiator' | Gladiator Ornamental Onion

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Allium × hollandicum ‘Gladiator’ produces large, rounded flower heads composed of many star-shaped florets in rich violet-purple tones. The blooms appear in late spring to early summer, held on sturdy, upright stems that rise cleanly above broad, gray-green basal leaves. As flowering begins, the foliage gradually recedes, allowing the bold blossoms to take center stage and define the plant’s seasonal display.

‘Gladiator’ has become widely used for its strong vertical presence in garden designs. It works well in borders, perennial beds, and naturalized plantings, where the tall stems create rhythm and height. The flowers also perform well as cut blooms, adding structure to fresh and dried arrangements while extending their usefulness beyond the garden.
