G1012
Description
With luxurious raspberry hues with subtle highlights, Ruffled Gladioli 'Velvet Raspberry' delivers long-lasting colour. Raspberry-red blooms accented with delicate hints of cream and purple.
Catching the eye both in borders and in floral arrangements, strong stems growing to a majestic 100 - 120 cm and flowering from July to September. Thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil.
de Jager top quality, top size Ruffled Gladioli 'Velvet Raspberry' 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.
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.

Red Highland
L3064
Spirited and exuberant, Asiatic Lily ‘Red Highland’ is like a floral Highland fling, jigging and reeling through the summer months. One of the earliest lilies to flower, the plump, elongated buds burst open to reveal a blaze of scarlet blooms. The fiery petals are set against verdant leaves, in a red-and-green colour combination like a classic tartan.
With sturdy stems reaching up to 100 cm, this asiatic lilium 'Red HIghland' is an eye-catching addition to the backs of your borders. Bearing up to seven blooms per stem, this bountiful variety makes an exquisite cut flower, creating an entire bouquet with just a few snips of your secateurs.
All lilies love the sun, especially in the morning, but need well-drained soil. Mulch around the base to protect bulbs and retain moisture for healthy, vibrant blooms.
