Glamini Gladioli Kim
G5001
Description
Petite spears of Glamini ‘Kim’ are ideal for summer containers and garden borders. The stature of these mini-gladioli are much smaller than the taller, sword-like stems of giant gladioli, which are often grown for cutting and for adding height and colour to garden beds.
Ruffled blooms of blackcurrant-purple swirled with creamy white cloak stems, opening from the bottom upwards during late summer.
Excellent for cutting to add to bouquets and summer flower arrangements.
Plant the corms in spring, at intervals a week or two apart for a succession of purple blooms.
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.
