Gladioli 'Vuelta' (25 bulbs)

A pack of 25 beautiful and vibrant Gladioli 'Vuelta' bulbs is sure to bring life to any garden. Gladioli are known for their tall spikes of colourful blooms that can reach up to 120cm/48" in height, with 'Vuelta' producing large, intense red, trumpet-shaped flowers.

These gladioli are perfect for creating stunning borders in any garden, and are especially suited for cottage and traditional garden styles. The flowers bloom in mid to late summer, providing a long-lasting display of colour and bringing a touch of warmth to your outdoor space.

Planting 'Vuelta' gladioli is easy, simply plant the bulbs in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Ensure the bulb is planted with the pointy end facing upwards, and cover with soil to a depth of 15cm. Water the soil thoroughly and then keep it moist until the bulbs have started to sprout. Plant some every few weeks from March to June to ensure flowers from summer to autumn.

For the bets effect, plant in clusters of five or more. Gladioli need water during the growing period and mulching with compost helps to conserve moisture. Staking can be necessary; after the buds are formed, place canes or stakes at about 5cm/2" from the base of the stems to avoid damaging the corms. In very cold areas, lift after flowering and store frost free over winter.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, the 'Vuelta' gladioli bulbs are sure to bring a touch of beauty to your garden.
