Gladiolus Fidelio
Classic Gladiolus with Soft Colours, a Timeless Choice
Bring understated elegance to your garden with the classic Gladiolus. Its soft, muted tones blend seamlessly into any planting scheme. Plant Gladiolus corms in spring, once the soil has warmed and frost is no longer a risk. Bury them 10-15cm (4-6 inches) deep, with a spacing of 10-15cm (4-6 inches) between each corm. A sunny location with well-drained soil is ideal for these blooms. To enjoy a prolonged display, stagger plantings every couple of weeks. These graceful flowers bloom from midsummer to early autumn, adding vertical interest and timeless beauty to your garden.
