Description

Gladiolus ‘Rusty Chestnut’ is a long summer bloomer that flowers in July and August and beyond if the weather is good. Gladiolus Rusty Chestnut is hard to describe. The flowers combine tones of dusky brown, bronze and purples making it an eye-catching addition to any summer garden. Gladiolus tubers should be planted about 7-10 cm deep in the spring. This allows rainwater to drain well under the tubers. Space the tubers about 10-12 cm apart. Add some good potting soil when planting. Mix heavy (clay) soil with sharp sand before planting. This large-flowered Gladiolus likes to grow in a warm sunny spot. This Gladiolus has a beautiful colour and is can be combined to create a rustic feel in the garden or special combinations with it in the border with tall perennials and Dahlias. Preferably plant Gladiolus in a different spot every year.
