€7.95
Gladioli Strawberry Swirl from the Select by Taylor’s range is a vibrant and elegant summer flowering bulb, chosen for its rich strawberry-pink tones and beautifully ruffled blooms. Tall, upright flower spikes are packed with softly textured flowers that add warmth and colour to summer borders, creating a striking focal point in the garden. Flowering from July through to September, this gladiolus provides reliable colour during the height of the gardening season and pairs beautifully with other summer perennials and grasses. Its strong stems and eye-catching blooms also make it an excellent choice for cutting, bringing bold summer colour indoors.
Key Features
This variety is selected for stunning colouring and consistent performance, producing tall flower spikes with large, frilled blooms. It flowers through mid to late summer, helping to maintain colour and interest once spring planting has finished. Well suited to Irish growing conditions, it is easy to grow and ideal for gardeners looking to add height and drama to their planting schemes.
Size
Gladioli Strawberry Swirl grows to an approximate flowering height of 100cm, or around 40 inches, making it ideal for the back of borders and for use as a cut flower.
Useful For
Perfect for garden borders, mixed summer planting, cut flower gardens and floral displays, where its vibrant colouring and height can be fully appreciated.
Aftercare
Plant gladioli corms in spring after the risk of frost has passed, in fertile, well-drained soil and a sunny, sheltered position. Water well after planting and during dry spells as growth develops. In exposed areas, light staking may help support taller stems. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the corm. In colder locations, lift and store corms over winter in a dry, frost-free place.
