The striking rich velvet purple bloom of this Gladioli pairs beautifullywith other purple flowers and provides a lovely texture to any garden.Gladioli are sometimes known as “Sword Lilies” or “Glads” and these Summerflowering corms produce tall slender stems ranging from 80-120 cm high.Their striking colour combinations make a real statement in most gardensand using stagger planting can create long-lasting displays as Gladioli canbe planted right through until December. Plant in full sun and inwell-drained soil. If soil is heavy, mound it up so that excess water willrun off from around the area were the corm has been planted. Protect themfrom strong winds by either planting in a sheltered spot or supporting themwith a growth support system. Gladioli can be timed to flower anytimeduring summer simply by planting about 90 days before you require them tobe in flower but avoid planting until the danger of frosts have passed. Youcan also use this timing to create a long lasting display with staggerplanting. The blooms can be removed when they have begun to fade but leavethe foliage until it has died down. Lift the corms in autumn and store in acool, dark place with plenty of air movement until July-August then plantout again in the normal way.

Planting Guide
Sword-lilies bloomfor up to 2 weeks or so and to extend their bloom in the garden considerplanting every two weeks from the last frost date until early summerenabling a staggered blooming period. Typically it takes 10-12 weeeks fromplanting to flowering. Grows up to 90-120cm tall. The bigger the corm, themore chance it will produce larger plants and more spectacular flowers.Best flowering occurs in full sun in humusy, medium moisture, well-drainedsoil and will adapt to a wide range of soils except clay. Provideconsistent moisture during the growing season; after flowering watering canbe reduced.
