Description

The small-flowered Gladiolus callianthus (Abyssinian Gladiolus) is a real summer bloomer. These special Gladiolus-like flowers reach a height of 80 cm and are beautiful cut flowers. The Abyssinian Gladiolus flowers profusely and should not be missed in your summer flower garden.You can plant the tubers about 7-10 cm deep in the spring. First loosen the soil well and sprinkle a layer of sharp sand at the bottom of the planting hole. 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 Gladiolus likes to grow in a warm sunny spot.This Abyssinian Gladiolus has a beautiful white colour and is therefore easy to combine. You can make special combinations with it in the border with perennials, Dahlias and other summer flowers.
