This eye-catching collection of gladiolus corms produces tall, majestic flower spikes in vibrant shades of magenta, purple, and lime green that bloom from mid to late summer, providing structural height and vivid colour for borders, arrangements, and cutting gardens.
In each collection you will receive 15 corms of each of the following cultivars:
- Gladiolus 'Plum Tart': Perfect for adding colour to the late summer border, the majestic spires of this stunning perennial open from the base to reveal large, bright magenta-coloured flowers, which have a soft velvety texture. Plant them in drifts through the herbaceous or cottage border, interspersing them with rich purple or soft pink-coloured flowers. They also look spectacular when planted near silver foliage. Sought after by florists, the flower spikes make spectacular additions to a large vase. Grows to 120cm.
- Gladiolus 'Purple Mate': Intense purple flowers appear on the upright flower spikes from late summer. These can be used to add structural interest and colour to the border, or cut to create spectacular arrangements in a vase. Grows to 120cm.
- Gladiolus 'Bonfire':
- Gladiolus 'Black Star':
- Gladiolus 'Next Level':
Plant corms 10-15cm (4-6in) deep and 25cm apart on a bed of sharp sand to aid drainage. In frost-prone areas, lift them when the leaves turn yellow-brown, dip the corms in fungicide and store in a dry, frost-free place over winter.
