Overview

Gladioli Large Flowering Mixed: The Vibrant Kaleidoscope of Summer

Gladioli Large Flowering Mixed is a dazzling and high-energy collection, designed to turn your garden into a living rainbow of vertical colour. This curated selection features a spectacular array of the most popular large-flowered varieties, offering a high-contrast palette of fiery reds, sunny yellows, royal purples, soft pinks, and pristine whites. Each corm produces a towering, architectural spike laden with large, funnel-shaped blossoms that open sequentially from the bottom up. Rising above sturdy, sword-like foliage, this mix is the ultimate choice for gardeners who want maximum impact and variety, providing an ever-changing display of florist-quality beauty for sunny borders and cutting gardens alike.

Key Features

  • A Symphony of Colours: Why choose just one? This mix provides an instant "designer garden" look, ensuring your borders are filled with a diverse range of jewel tones and soft pastels that complement one another perfectly.

  • Monumental Vertical Interest: Reaching impressive heights of up to 1.2 metres, these gladioli act as "exclamation points" in the garden, adding necessary height and structure to the mid-to-back of borders.

  • The Ultimate "Bouquet-in-a-Bag": This mix is a dream for flower arrangers. With a single planting, you'll have access to a wide variety of colours to create vibrant, multi-coloured indoor arrangements that last for up to two weeks in the vase.

  • Reliable and Prolific: Large-flowering gladioli are famous for their vigor. Each spike is densely packed with blooms, ensuring a dense wall of colour that bridges the gap between early summer and the first signs of autumn.

Gardener's Tip

To ensure your garden stays a kaleidoscope of colour for as long as possible, don't plant the entire mix at once. Instead, plant a handful of corms every 10–14 days from late March through to the end of May. This "succession planting"technique prevents all the flowers from blooming at the same time, giving you a continuous, rolling harvest of fresh, multi-coloured spikes for your vases all the way into September!
