The "Jessica" gladiolus, that owes its Latin name to the characteristic leaf shape just like all other gladioli, stands out with the intriguing, vivid salmon-pink colour of its large flowers. This plant grows up to 120 cm tall. In order to provide it with the optimal growth and development conditions you need to learn about the requirements of the species. These include a wind-sheltered site exposed to sunlight and fertile, rich, permeable soil. After purchasing the bulbs you would be able to plant them directly to the soil end of April or beginning of May, due to the frost sensitivity of the tubers. That is also why cold autumn weather should be considered the last alert for excavation of the bulbs. This measure will protect the plants from temperatures below freezing point. Gladioli look the most stunning during the flowering period that takes place in July and August. Please be prepared for watering during prolonged drought periods. Thanks to the universal features of gladioli you may use them in many different ways, including cut flowers, border decorations and setting up intriguing, intricate single species and multi species arrangements.

This offer is valid for 5 bulbs of the "Jessica" gladiolus variety. Essential growing information has been printed at the back of the package.
