10 Wine and Roses Gladioli Bulbs

A very elegant gladioli flower. Wine and Roses are a delicate pink gladioli with a cerise through. Growing to around 125cm in height, these gladioli bulbs are great in borders.

Gladioli like a well-drained, moisture retentive soil in full sun and protected from strong winds.

Good for borders and as cut flowers. Dual planting is recommended; one for the garden and one for cut flowers.

For the best effect, plant in clusters of 5 or more. Gladioli need water during the growing period and mulching with compost will help conserve moisture. Staking can be necessary; after the buds are formed, place canes or stakes at about 5cm from the base of the stems to avoid damaging the corms. In very cold areas, lift after flowering and store frost free over winter.

Planting some corms every few weeks from April to June will ensure flowers from summer to autumn.
