Description

The small-flowered Gladiolus Nymph is a beautiful summer bloomer that can flower until autumn. This special small-flowered Gladiolus produces creamy white flowers with pink blotches edged in crimson and grows to 60-70 cm. It is a wonderful cut flower. This Gladiolus is very floriferous and should not be missing in your summer flower garden. You can plant 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 colouration lends itself to combine easily 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.
