The Fosta gladiolus belongs to classic colourful varieties. Its solid red colour perfectly mirrors the stylish form of the species. Gladioli that look great on a border, in a glass vase, and in a festive arrangement simply delight with their size. The fiery red Fosta gladiolus usually grows 110 centimetres tall. This tall and slender plant fits into compositions that consist of several levels of different height. It can also be admired in broad belts that will supply you with cut flowers. The saturated red colour of the elongated flower clusters is the sight of summer. It can be adorned from July to September depending on the time of planting.

Start planting gladioli corms mid-April when the soil has sufficiently warmed and dried. Sunny, sheltered areas that are not exposed to drafts are recommended as best gladioli sites. These spectacular bulbous plants thrive in almost every kind of soil. The largest, most stunning specimens develop in the soil that is rich in organic matter. Gladioli bulbs do not winter in the ground and must be dug out. Store them in cool and airy rooms.
