Planting & Care:
Plant the bulbs in autumn, around 10-15cm deep and 20-30cm apart, for best results. They do well in both borders and pots, allowing for versatile garden planning. After the flowers bloom, leave the foliage to die back naturally to help the bulb replenish for the next season.
Bring a touch of drama and beauty to your garden with Allium Gladiators, and enjoy the majestic blooms year after year. Perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners, these alliums are a must-have for creating stunning visual displays in any Irish garden.
