Allium ‘Gladiator’

Allium care

Allium bulbs are ideally planted before the end of November. This will give the bulbs the best chance for growing a good root system before the winter cold set in.

• Plant 3-4 times the depth of the bulb
• In well drained soil
• Sunny light position
• Can be grown in pots and containers
• When planted in pots and containers use a good quality compost and re-pot annually in fresh compost, after flowering season.
• These bulbs are fully hardy
• Avoid poor drained soil/compost and waterlogged conditions, especially during the dormant period after flowering.
• The browning leaves during flowering can be cut off without harming the bulb or flower, although it is always better to leave foliage where possible.
