With stunning vertical racemes of velvety pink and white, Gladiolus ‘Sweet Cocktail’ is perfect as a feature point in a beautiful summer garden. Ideal for planting in the spring, they will provide a subtle and elegant display of colour in your garden.
Gladiolus bulbs are easy to plant and will thrive in well-drained soil in full sun. They should be planted around 10cm/4″ deep and around 15cm/6″ apart. When the leaves begin to appear, make sure to keep them well-watered and fertilised to ensure healthy growth. As the spikes begin to form, it is important to stake them to prevent them from falling over.
To maintain Gladiolus ‘Sweet Cocktail’ it is essential to deadhead the flowers as they begin to fade to prevent the plant from producing seed and to encourage further blooming. Once the blooming season is over, it is best to cut back the leaves and stems to the base. The bulbs can be dug up and stored in a cool, dry place over the winter and replanted in the spring.
In summary, Gladiolus ‘Sweet Cocktail’ will make a beautiful addition to any garden and will provide a stunning display of colour in the summer. They are easy to plant and maintain, and the large, showy flowers are perfect for use as cut flowers in floral arrangements. These bulbs are a must-have for any gardener looking to add some elegance to their garden.
