Description:
Gladioli have not been in fashion for year but they are making a big comeback. There's a whole range of varieties on the market and this is one is a real standout. Their height and the fact they flower late in the season makes them a real must have in a mixed border.
Care:
They don't enjoy soggy soil and benefit from staking when flowering!
