Description

Gladiolus Coral Crush is ideal for customers looking for fresh vivid colour in summer beds and patio borders. Gladiolus are straightforward to grow and give clear value because each corm produces a tall flowering spike that can be enjoyed in the garden or cut for arrangements.

Plant in a sunny sheltered spot in spring. Free draining soil is key, so recommend improving heavier soils with compost and grit. Plant at a consistent depth and space evenly, then water in well. As growth progresses, keep the soil lightly moist, especially during dry spells.

For best results in Irish gardens, suggest planting in batches a couple of weeks apart to stretch the flowering period. Stake if exposed to wind. After flowering, leave foliage to die back naturally, then lift and store corms where winters are cold or ground is wet.
