Gladiator Allium

Gladiator is an ornamental onion with perfectly shaped amethyst spheres that measure 6" in diameter, adding a superb visual impact to the garden. For the most eye-catching displays, group the bulbs together. They can be harvested for dried arrangements after they flower or even when left standing for a time they still add a unique visual element.  Great interplanted with other spring bulbs and perennials.
