Organic giant ornamental onion
The Allium 'Gladiator' is an ornamental onion with a striking long flower stem that can grow up to 120 centimetres high. This makes it an excellent choice for the back of borders, where it towers above other plants. The flowers consist of many lilac-coloured, star-shaped flowers that together form a ball. It has similar flowers to the Allium 'Globemaster' with a slightly smaller flower size of approximately 15 centimetres wide.
How, where and when do I plant Allium 'Gladiator' flower bulbs?
A Gladiator flower bulb needs a cold period. Therefore, plant it in the ground in the autumn from October to January. The planting depth is 2 to 3 times the flower bulb itself and the planting distance is 2 to 3 times the width of the flower bulb itself. Plant it in full sun or partial shade in a nutritious, water-permeable, preferably calcareous sandy soil.
Care
After flowering, cut off the faded flowers and as soon as the foliage has died, the flower bulb can be dug up to divide the flower bulb. This usually multiplies. The flower bulbs are then stored in the shed until September and are then replanted in the ground. The flower bulbs can also remain in the ground. These will naturalise and also come up again by themselves.
Provide organic nutrients immediately upon planting and in spring before flowering for optimal results!
