Product Description
This is a compact mix of Dwarf Gladiolus nanus producing slender spikes of funnel-shaped blooms in a blend of pink, rose, crimson and white, often marked with contrasting throats. Flowers are carried along upright stems above narrow, sword-like foliage, creating a light, elegant display that is less formal than traditional tall Gladioli while still providing strong colour and vertical interest.
Flowering in early to midsummer, this dwarf variety typically reaches 40-60 cm in height with a neat, upright habit. Its shorter stature makes it well-suited to the front or middle of sunny borders, where clusters of mixed colours create a natural, tapestry-like effect without overwhelming surrounding planting.
Best planted in full sun with well-drained soil, this Dwarf Gladiolus combine well with perennials that soften their vertical spikes. We recommend pairing this Dwarf Gladiolus nanus Mix with airy planting such as Nepeta, Gaura or Salvias, or weave among summer performers like Echinacea, Rudbeckia and ornamental grasses to add height, colour and structural contrast throughout the season.
We guarantee our great value mixture packs contain a comprehensive blend of variety and colours. By definition, the components of the mixtures are not labelled/named on arrival.

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."
