Immerse yourself in the captivating charm of Gladiolus 'Cherry Candy', a remarkable new variety that brings to your garden an array of delicate pastel pink blossoms, beautifully highlighted with deeper blush undertones. These exquisite flowers, reaching a statuesque height of 120 cm, are ideal for creating elegant statements within garden beds or as standout centrepieces in container arrangements, provided they receive adequate support.

For successful cultivation, these Sword Lilies prefer environments that are sunny, warm, and sheltered from harsh winds. Their notable height may necessitate staking to ensure stability. Thriving in fertile, well-drained soil with a neutral pH between 6.5-7.0, 'Cherry Candy' benefits from annual rotation of planting locations to reduce the risk of disease.

When the soil is sufficiently warm and dry, typically from mid-April to mid-May, plant your 5 'Cherry Candy' bulbs. They should be planted at a depth three times their height (6-10 cm) and spaced 10x20 cm apart, with adjustments made for sandy soils to prevent toppling. Pre-planting treatment with a fungicide can enhance disease resistance.

For a continual display of blooms throughout the summer, stagger the planting times. It's essential to maintain regular watering during dry spells and to fertilise two weeks after planting to support the vigorous growth of these plants. Once the flowering period concludes, the bulbs should be lifted and stored over winter at 5-8°C.

Introduce the unparalleled elegance of Gladiolus 'Cherry Candy' to your garden or patio containers, and bask in the sweet floral splendour it brings. This package contains 5 bulbs, each with comprehensive planting instructions, ensuring you can seamlessly integrate this exceptional variety into your outdoor space.
