Hardy Gladiolus Carine
M5486
Description
A charming variety of sword lily, Gladiolus ‘Carine’ produces stunning, creamy white blooms brushed with cerise markings and lilac stamens.
The long-lasting flowers look spectacular in the summer border, a bold display of chic beauty with their architectural shape and unique colouring. Plant behind low growing perennials, towards the middle of the border where the corms can lie undisturbed in the soil, ready to return every year.
Gladiolus make excellent cut flowers. Cut when the lower blooms begin to unfurl, leaving plenty of buds to open as the flowers mature in the vase. Remove blossoms from the base of the stems as they fade for a lasting display.
Unfussy on soil type providing drainage is good, Gladioli prefer a situation in full sun for a floriferous show.
