Glamini Gladioli Amber
G5000
Description
Glamini ‘Amber’ is a new ‘mini’ form of gladioli, perfect for summer containers, and for growing near the front of a border. The versatile flower spikes are ideal for punctuating a planting scheme with textured spires and make wonderful cut flowers.
Ruffled, creamy blooms with a hint of lilac, are packed along stems, opening from the base up from July onwards. Cut just as the lower buds begin to show colour for the longest vase-life.
Glamini 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 ivory flowers.
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.
