Description
Gaze across a field that holds Allium 'Gladiator' – you’ll notice it instantly. Its giant heads spread over 20 cm in diameter and contain countless miniature florets, each a rich pink- or rose-purple. This stunning onion is a cross between two other alliums, but it will never make you cross. When you have rows of Alliums 'Gladiator' in your garden, they make it look ordered and precise. It’s the flower for the perfectionist in you. And there’s something entrancing about its heads – the closer you look, the more attractive they become. Be careful not to get dizzy and fall into them!
