Gladioli are popular garden plants, bearing long, pointed leaves from which tall flower spikes emerge in summer. They’re perfect for growing in a sunny herbaceous border and make excellent cut flowers.
Gladiolus ‘Flevo Cool’ is a semi-dwarf hybrid, bearing spikes of incredible purple and yellow flowers. Perfect for cutting. For best results grow in well-drained soil in full sun. Water well during the growing season and stake plants before the flower spike emerges. Frost tender, lift the corms each autumn and overwinter them in frost-free conditions.
