Hardy Gladiolus Nanus Nymph
M5485
Description
A sweet, early flowering variety of dwarf Gladiolus, ‘Nanus Nymph’ produces compact spikes of charming blooms on stems 50-60cm tall and is one of the most beautiful cultivars available. The flowers are whitish pink, with creamy blotches and china-rose markings on the petals.
Corms should be planted into moist, well-drained soil in early spring. Gladioli prefer a spot in full sun without too much competition from surrounding plants. Fully hardy and perennial.
Excellent for cutting. Pick when the lower blooms begin to open and as stems mature in the vase, remove faded flowers for a long-lasting display.
Care Guide
For early flowering, hardy Gladiolus, choose a warm and sunny, well-drained location.
Plant corms with the pointy side up, 8-10cm deep and 15cm apart in the soil. Provide consistent watering after planting and during dry spells, ensuring soil remains moderately moist.
Plant corms at intervals, every two weeks from spring until early summer for a staggered display.
Robust stems of elegant, sword-shaped blooms rise to heights of 60-75cm between June and August.
After flowering, remove spent and withered stalks and foliage and apply a mulch to the soil in late autumn.
