Product Description
Create an impressive summer display with the Gladiolus nanus Collection, a vibrant array of six standout varieties that bring colour and dynamic vertical accents to borders, patio pots and containers. This curated set includes ‘Halley’, ‘Impressive’, ‘Nathalie’, ‘Prins Claus’, ‘Robinetta’ and ‘The Bride’ - together offering a tapestry of rich pinks, soft ivories, bold reds and crisp whites that deliver prolonged seasonal appeal.
Flowering through early to mid‑summer when planted in full sun with well‑drained, fertile soil, this collection combines compact, upright habits typically reaching 40-70 cm with narrow, sword‑shaped foliage that supports richly coloured spikes of blooms. The varied heights and hues within the mix create layered impact in mixed beds and containers, making it easy to design a cohesive summer scheme with rhythmic colour and form.
The diverse palette and vertical structure of these Gladioli make them excellent partners for an array of perennials and ornamental grasses. Pair with cool blues and lavenders for contrast, soft pastel perennials for harmony, or combine with Nepeta, Salvias and low‑growing grasses to emphasise movement and texture throughout the season. The collection also includes ample stems suitable for beautiful indoor vase arrangements.

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.
