Gladiator Alliums produce big, fluffy orbs of rich violet-blue florets tipped in silver, and its round flower heads sit atop tall, 60″ stems. This early to midsummer beauty is the perfect perennial for perking up back borders or for creating focal point plantings.
The Gladiator Allium naturalizes quite well, returning year after year with increased vigor and blooms. Plus, butterflies and other pollinators love alliums and will visit the landscape in large numbers. For extra flair, plant shorter-stemmed blooms in front of the leafless stalks of Gladiator.
