Description

Named after the English tenor, Large Flowered Gladioli ‘Peter Pears’ is an ever-popular variety of giant-flowering gladioli. Large, apricot-tangerine blooms are overlaid in gold, with a scarlet tongue on the lower petals. This classic, stand-out gladioli appeals to so many for good reason, enhancing summer borders with its tasteful tones and handsome architecture.

Looks beautiful when grown amongst lilac-purple shades, or rich burgundy hues. Gladiolus 'Peter Pears' peachy tones is fitting the flower's warm, rich tones echo the honeyed quality of his celebrated voice.

de Jager top quality, top size Gladioli are best grown in fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny spot. Plant the corms a week or two apart throughout spring for a long succession of pretty flowers between July and September.

Care Guide

To cultivate Gladioli, choose a sunny site with well-drained, well-manured garden soil. Dig a trench 15cm deep and place the corms 10-15cm apart, covering with soil and ensuring they sit 5cm below the surface. Water regularly, maintaining soil moisture until growth is established, and during hot, dry spells of weather. Stagger planting at two-week intervals to ensure continuous flowering over a long period. Expect stately, colourful spikes reaching 60-90cm in height which many require staking for support. The smaller variety ‘Glamini’ Gladioli will reach a maximum height of 50cm.
