Ruffled Gladioli Mix
G1005
Description
A fantastic array of frilled blooms, our ‘Ruffled Gladioli Mixture’ will bring spectacular colour and texture to your home and garden. No longer the preserve of Dame Edna, ‘gladdies’ make a glamorous addition to borders and bouquets. This balanced, harmonious mix combines crimson, coral, chartreuse and lilac flowers, borne on tall, slender stems. The intricately pleated petals in this collection add infinitely to their allure. Blooming from July to September, this multicoloured selection provides plentiful stems to fill vases around the house. The buds will open in sequence, lasting well over a week in water.
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.
