Gladioli Giant Flowering ‘Traderhorn’ – 10 bulbs

Gladioli Giant Flowering ‘Traderhorn’ will draw your attention from any garden border with their stunning contrast of vibrant red petals containing elegant white streaked centres.

Gladioli ‘Traderhorn’ will grow spires of these gorgeous blooms above their tall sword-shaped leaves making then perfect, when planted in clusters, to fill out the back of a summer border or when cut for display.

We recommend planting in two week intervals throughout March into June to ensure a long flowering succession with an expected time to flower of around 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 display throughout the garden.

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.
