Product Description
Gladioli Buggy is traditionally tall and full flowering, producing creamy yellow petals with bright lemon centres. Delicate ivory filaments protrude from the throat, contrasting prettily against the lemon centre petals. A cheerful flower with huge velvety blooms, adorned with sword-shaped foliage which provides a simple backdrop for the showy petals. Well-drained soil and a sunny location are ideal for growing Gladioli. At Parkers we recommend planting Gladioli in groups at monthly intervals, starting early spring, to extend the flowering season for a showcase that lasts all summer long. Plant in clumps rather than lines for a natural look, and plant more than you need in case you want to bring some indoors! 12/14cm corms supplied. Flowers June to September. Height 1m.

Growing at a glance…
Plant gladioli about 10-15cm deep and about 10-15cm apart, in fertile/well drained soil in autumn or spring. When planting in a heavy soil, place some sand underneath each corm to help with drainage. You can water regularly as the growth begins to appear and you can dead head when flowers begin to die off, though make sure to leave foliage to grow throughout the summer. In late autumn when frosty and cold nights are likely to return, you should lift and dry the corms and store over the winter in a frost free shed/garage until ready to plant again next year.
