Description

The small-flowered Gladiolus nanus Mix is a real summer bloomer that can flower until autumn. This special small-flowered Gladiolus mixes rosy pinks, soft pinks and white flowers which grow to 60-70 cm. They are wonderful cut flowers. This Gladiolus mixture is very floriferous and should not be missing in your summer flower garden. You can plant the Gladiolus 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 large-flowered Gladiolus likes to grow in a warm sunny spot. This small flowered Gladiolus’s mix of colour add colour to your garden when it is combined with other flowers. You can make special combinations with it in the border with tall perennials and Dahlias. Preferably plant Gladiolus in a different spot every year. If you plan on using this flower in a cutting, pick the stems when the lower flower opens, preferably early in the morning and immediately place the stems in a vase with lukewarm water with cut flower food.
