The Gladioli Prince of Orange boasts vibrant, bright orange flowers that make it a striking addition to any garden. Ideal for cut flowers, this variety reaches a height of 100 cm (40 inches) and blooms from July to September, providing a bold splash of colour to your garden 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 placed in a sheltered area, protected from strong winds, to ensure robust growth and upright stems.

For a continuous display of blooms throughout the summer and autumn, plant corms from March onwards and stagger plantings every few weeks from April to June. This will guarantee fresh flowers from summer into autumn.

Expert Tip: Gladioli Prince of Orange is perfect for borders and as cut flowers. To extend the flowering period, practice dual planting—one set for the garden and one set for cut flowers. Regularly remove faded blooms to encourage new growth and prolong the blooming season.
