Product Description
Flowering from June onwards, Gladiolus ‘Las Vegas’ brings a show-stopping burst of colour to early summer planting. Lemon-yellow blooms edged with fiery orange-red and lightly ruffled petals open along tall, upright spikes above strong, sword-shaped foliage, creating a dramatic vertical display that commands attention in borders, patio pots and containers. Growing to around 90 cm with a spread of 20 cm, each spike has a presence that feels almost theatrical in the garden.
Sturdy and versatile, ‘Las Vegas’ thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Its upright stems hold the vivid flowers throughout the season, making it perfect for the middle or back of beds or as a focal point in large containers.
We recommend pairing ‘Las Vegas’ with soft blues, lavenders or pale purples such as Agastache, Nepeta or Salvia to highlight its fiery edges. Low-growing perennials and ornamental grasses also complement its upright form, and the long, dramatic stems are excellent for cutting and bringing indoors.

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."
