Description

Gladiolus Mon Amour is romantic, refined and undeniably elegant — creamy soft petals washed with blush pink and lilac undertones, often with a deeper rosy throat that adds depth and delicacy. The blooms stack densely up tall, perfectly formed spires, making it a premium choice for summer wedding gardens, floral studios, pastel planting schemes and refined border design. When grown in clusters of 10–20 corms, it creates a luxurious vertical rhythm that draws the eye and elevates planting compositions instantly. Flowering mid to late summer, Mon Amour offers strong stems for cut-flower floristry, arranging beautifully with dahlias, cosmos, phlox and airy grasses. While gladioli arent the most accessible for small bees, butterflies and larger pollinators will feed where florets open, especially if planted among nectar-rich support species. For biodiversity-minded borders, interplant with Echinacea, Orlaya, Salvia, Scabiosa, Penstemon and Verbena to keep pollinator flow active across the season. Thrives in full sun and free-draining Irish soil, appreciating a sheltered position to keep stems straight. Mulch well and feed during growth for strong performance. Corms may be lifted and stored over winter or left under protection in mild regions. Perfect for estate gardens, hotel grounds, wedding venues, pastel schemes, floristry rows and elegant summer borders.
