This beautiful giant of the Allium family is a delight in the garden. Gladiator is a bright perennial that blooms in summer with massive, 6” globes of tiny deep purple flowers on strong, tall stems reaching 3-4’. A favorite of pollinators, this blooming onion is deer- and rabbit-resistant and extremely easy to grow. Gladiator is a great choice for zones 4-8 and should be planted 4-6” beneath the soil line.

Gladiator is sold in packs of 3 for fall planting.

Planting Instructions:

1. Choose an area with good drainage that receives at least 6 hours of sun per day.

2. Dig planting holes 4 times the height of the bulb and spaced 6-8” apart. 

3. Place bulbs with points facing upward, and then gently pack the soil over the bulb.

4. Water once and then not again till spring.
