Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Shorter than most other varieties, but sporting up to 20 full-size blooms on each stem, Gladioli 'Kim' offers a profusion of flamboyant flowers in a more manageable package.

Erect flower spikes up to 80cm tall, carry large, funnel-shaped blooms above clumps of sword-like leaves. The flowers come in shades of rich purple that blend into a paler ground. Flowering from midsummer to autumn, the bulbs can be planted at staggered intervals for an even longer display. These ostentatious flowers are loved by florists and their strong stems make for excellent vase displays if you can bear to cut them! Plant Gladioli 'Gladdies Kim' into borders or containers – not only will they deliver a glorious splash of colour, but they will also be welcomed by pollinating insects. Height: 60cm to 80cm (24-31in). Spread: 15cm (6in).

Plant gladioli in groups at 14-day intervals to extend their flowering season, and enjoy their fabulous blooms all summer long. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 15cm (6").

In autumn, allow the foliage to die back naturally before lifting the corms and cleaning them of soil and any remaining stems. Dry them in a well ventilated position for 2 weeks before storing them in a frost-free location for the winter. When growing gladioli in mild areas with particularly well drained soil, it may not be necessary to lift the corms. Apply a dry mulch of bark chips or leaf mould in autumn to protect the corms from cold, wet weather.
