Gladiolus Fairytale Pink An attractive gladiolus producing upright summer flower spikes with ruffled pink petals and lighter centres. The contrasting colours give each bloom definition, making this a practical choice for adding height to borders and supplying stems for cutting.

Plant corms 10–15cm deep, spaced approximately 10–15cm apart, in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun once the soil has warmed in spring. For a longer picking season, plant several small batches at intervals. Water in dry conditions and stake taller spikes if required. Cut stems as the lower buds begin to open, retaining enough leaves to feed the corms. In frost-prone or poorly drained gardens, lift after the foliage dies back and store dry and frost-free.

About our bulbs: We work closely with our growers to select quality, top-sized bulbs for British gardens. Our range is trialled and tested at our Suffolk trials ground or by the growers we work with, helping you plant with confidence.
