Allium Gladiator

An award-winning 1981 cross between A. aflatunense and A. macleanii, this lofty favorite has spectacular 6"-wide, rose-purple globes comprised of tightly compacted, starry florets dotted with green eyes (ovaries). It gives gardens amazing architectural structure. Rabbit-, rodent- and deer-resistant, its low, strappy foliage starts to brown out prior to flowering. It is much loved by bees, butterflies and helpful pollinators. Bulb size: 18 cm/up. May/June. HZ: 5-8. Height: 36" to 48". We are very sorry, but due to state agricultural restrictions, we are not permitted to ship Allium bulbs to Idaho or Oregon, or to the following five counties in the State of Washington: Adams, Benton, Franklin, Grant and Klickitat.

  • Information
  • Miscellaneous Narcissi
    Not to be overlooked, these varieties are in their own little group because they don't quite fit into any of the R.H.S. divisions.

    All Narcissi tolerate a wide range of sunlight from full sun to semi-shade. Varieties with pink cups should be grown in areas of filtered sunlight. Narcissi prefer well-draining soil, hate to get wet feet and love to be fed with a 4-10-6 or 5-10-5 granular organic flower bulb fertilizer three times a year. Allow the foliage to thrive and die back naturally without braiding or premature removal. Bulb size: 12/14 cm, unless otherwise noted. Bloom time in a horticultural zone 5: March/April. Plant 6" deep and 6" apart. Horticultural zones 5-8. Height: 6" to 14", depending upon variety. Narcissus classification: Royal Horticultural Society Division 12.
