Showy Gladiolus with Bold, Contrasting Colours, a Garden Standout
Create a dramatic display in your garden with these showy Gladiolus blooms. Their tall spikes feature bold, contrasting colours that captivate the eye and add vertical interest to any space. Plant the corms in spring, once the risk of frost has passed, burying them 10-15cm (4-6 inches) deep in well-drained soil. Space them 10-15cm (4-6 inches) apart and position in full sun for optimal growth. To prolong blooming, stagger plantings every two weeks until early summer. These flowers are ideal for borders, cutting gardens, or as striking focal points.
