Gladioli Giant Flowering ‘Blue Mountain’ – 10 bulbs

Gladioli Giant Flowering ‘Blue Mountain’ is a stunning and elegant variety of Gladioli with tall spires of delightful blue flowers. These bulbs are ideal for growing in a mixed summer border or container and make excellent cut flowers.

With their wonderful blue shade, these beautiful perennials are perfect for mixing among other whites, pinks and blues such as Gladioli ‘White Prosperity’, ‘Smokey’ or ‘Lake Land’.

For a continual display of flowers plant a few bulbs every 2 weeks from March till June with an expected time to bloom of 70-90 days. For the best results, plant in clusters of five or more in a position of full sun with each bulb 10 cm deep and 10 cm apart. If possible plant multiple groupings, ensuring a separate supply for cut flowers with the rest for garden display.

After the buds have formed, stake the stems at least 5 cm from the base, preventing damage to the bulbs. Gladioli need water during the growing period and mulching with peat or compost to conserve moisture.
