Description
Gladiolus Apricot Bubble Gum is a stunning flower known for its soft apricot blooms with touches of pink and coral, deepening towards the ruffled edges. This cheerful colour combination gives a warm, festive feel, making it perfect for brightening up borders or using as a cut flower in arrangements.
Reaching a height of 100-120 cm, this gladiolus grows tall, elegant spikes of flowers above its sword-like green leaves. Blooming in mid to late summer, it creates a striking focal point just when the garden is full of summer colour. The strong, upright stems add structure, whether planted in clusters or alongside other perennials.
This variety thrives in sunny spots with well-drained soil and can handle occasional summer rain. Its flowers open one by one along the stem, giving you an extended display. The blooms also last well when cut, making them ideal for vibrant indoor bouquets.
For best results, plant Gladiolus Apricot Bubble Gum bulbs in spring, about 10-15 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart. Water regularly while they grow, and in windy spots, you may need to stake the stems for support.
Add warmth and fun to your garden with Gladiolus Apricot Bubble Gum, a standout flower that brings joy and colour to any space!
