Glamour Gladioli 'Flevo Ocean'
A vivid purple in the glamour range is hard to come by. Strong stems and a bloom good enough for a Cadbury add!
Glamour Gladioli are the new kids on the block! Having the same brilliant vigour and ease of growth as the 'Garden Gladioli' these treasures have been bred to stay shorter in height between 60-70cm. Coming in a vivid array of vibrant colours, they are a must have for the space conscious and pot plant gardener!
Everyone knows and loves the beauty of the Gladioli family. Hardy, vigorous and tall the Gladioli make for a stunning show within any garden situation. To ensure the best growth Gladioli should be planted after the last frost for your area. On average, with slight variety differences, Gladioli will flower at roughly 100 days after planting. Gladioli love the warmth, but with that being said they are remarkably drought hardy, requiring little summer watering. They do require a full sun to part shade position to ensure they do not become leggy. Gladioli are strong, and only rarely require staking. Gladioli are a highly sought after cut flower, and make for an exceptional addition to any picking garden.
Prepare a hole to a depth of 20cm making the spoil nice. light and friable. Plant the bulbs with the base downwards at a depth of 5cm. Gladioli can be held out of the ground to stagger their flowering through out the summer period.
