Product Description

Gladiolus nanus ‘Nathalie’ brings a warm splash of colour to borders and containers. Star-shaped salmon-pink florets, tinged with deeper markings on the lower petals, are arranged along slender, upright spikes above a fan of narrow, sword-like foliage. This creates a compact and elegant vertical accent for early summer planting.

 

Typically reaching around 50 cm in height with a neat, upright habit, ‘Nathalie’ flowers in summer when positioned in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Its tidy form and coral-tinged palette allow it to stand out without overwhelming neighbouring plants, making it ideal for the front or middle of borders.

 

The warm salmon hues pair naturally with cooler blues and purples to build contrast, or with creamy whites for a softly blended palette. Combine this Gladiolus with Nepeta, Salvia or Agastache for an airy, mixed border, or accent with Cosmos and Echinacea to extend the seasonal colour story, while ornamental grasses add gentle movement against the vertical spikes.

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.
