Mauve & Pink/White Gladioli Mix
G4905
Description
Our ‘Mauve and Pink-White Gladioli Mix’ is a romantic, delicate pairing of blooms, with soft petals seemingly made of silk. This demure duo features one variety of pale lilac, and one of apple-blossom pink with a pure white throat. Reaching a height of up to 120cm, these tall beauties stand gracefully amongst beds and borders, adding a whimsical, cottage garden charm. Flowering from July to September, the distinctive spikes will elevate your summer planting schemes. Gladioli make unbeatable cut flowers, bringing elegance and poise to arrangements. Snip just as the lower buds open and the remainder will gradually expand in the vase.
Care Guide
To cultivate Gladioli, choose a sunny site with well-drained, well-manured garden soil. Dig a trench 15cm deep and place the corms 10-15cm apart, covering with soil and ensuring they sit 5cm below the surface. Water regularly, maintaining soil moisture until growth is established, and during hot, dry spells of weather. Stagger planting at two-week intervals to ensure continuous flowering over a long period. Expect stately, colourful spikes reaching 60-90cm in height which many require staking for support. The smaller variety ‘Glamini’ Gladioli will reach a maximum height of 50cm.
