Gladioli Michelle
€4.95
The Gladioli Michelle is a vibrant, short-stemmed variety that showcases deep orange flowers with a striking yellow throat. This eye-catching bloom is perfect for both borders and as a cut flower, growing to a height of 60 cm (24 inches) and blooming from July to September.
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 placed in a sheltered area, protected from strong winds, to encourage sturdy growth and vibrant blooms.
To ensure continuous flowering from summer to autumn, plant the corms from March onwards, and stagger plantings every few weeks from April to June. This strategy guarantees a steady supply of flowers throughout the season.
Expert Tip: Gladioli Michelle is ideal for borders and cut flowers. For prolonged blooms, consider dual planting—one batch for the garden and one for cutting. Regularly remove spent flowers to promote fresh blooms and maintain the plant's vitality.
