Product Description

Deliver drama to your summer borders or patio pots with Gladiolus nanus ‘Prins Claus’. From July through August, its star-shaped white flowers with fuchsia‑pink markings bloom along upright spikes above sword-shaped green foliage, creating a striking vertical accent that instantly draws the eye.

 

‘Prins Claus’ typically reaches around 70 cm in height with a spread of 15 cm, and thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Its tidy, upright habit ensures the vibrant spikes stand strong without overpowering neighbouring plants, making it ideal for the middle or back of borders.

 

The crisp white and fuchsia‑pink tones contrast beautifully with cool blues and lavenders, or combine with soft yellows and apricots for a warmer, harmonious palette. We suggest pairing ‘Prins Claus’ with Salvia, Nepeta or light Asters for an airy mixed border, or weave among ornamental grasses and low-growing perennials to emphasise the striking spikes while adding seasonal movement and texture.

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.
