Gladiolus

Gladiolus

Showy, frost tender, summer/autumn flowering corms, suitable for borders and for cutting. In milder regions they can often be left in the ground over winter if given a thick mulch and providing the soil is well-drained. Otherwise, they should be lifted and stored once the foliage has died back. They are good 'fillers', taking up comparatively little space at ground level for the considerable impact they achieve. If the grandiflora types are too stiff for your taste, the other options are both subtle and elegant.

AVAILABLE TO ORDER FROM 1ST JANUARY 2025 FOR DESPATCH FROM FEBRUARY/MARCH 2025
