Gladioli Black Star (XL Value Pack)
The Gladioli Black Star features striking mahogany-red flowers, almost black in colour, making it a dramatic addition to any garden. Ideal for cut flowers and bee-friendly, this variety reaches a height of 60 cm (24 inches) and blooms from July to September, offering deep, rich tones to brighten your borders and floral arrangements.
Plant the corms 10 cm (4 inches) deep and space them 10 cm (4 inches) apart in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil. Gladioli thrive in full sun and should be planted in a sheltered area, protected from strong winds, to promote sturdy growth and abundant blooms.
To enjoy continuous blooms from summer to autumn, plant corms from March onwards, with additional plantings every few weeks from April to June. This ensures you’ll have fresh flowers throughout the growing season.
Expert Tip: Gladioli Black Star is perfect for both borders and cut flowers. For an extended flowering period, consider dual planting—one batch for the garden and one for cutting. Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms and maintain the plant's vigour throughout the season.
