The Novara, a compact variety of the Bambino cultivar group is a strong plant that perfectly fits into a summer garden. Its distinct, white-pink-yellow flowers constitute a perfect addition to the colourful summer parade of perennial and annual flowers. The lower growing, 70 to 95 centimetres tall stems carry abundant clusters of flowers. You can display their stunning beauty on borders and in pots. Stylish groups with gladioli playing the main role are worth arranging in the centre of the garden or at a lawn edging. The charming Novara gladioli are perfect plants for a colourful bouquet in your living room. They stay fresh and spectacular for long.

You can start with planting gladioli bulbs in pots already at the beginning of April and at the end of that month, in the garden. This species prefers light, loose, cultivated soil without excess water. We recommend adding a dab of organic matter in form of a fermented compost to the planting site. That place should also be sunny and protected from drafts and wind. You must protect gladioli corms from cold and dig the out before the first frost in summer. Transfer the slightly dried corms, with the overground parts removed, to a dry, airy room where temperature remains a few degrees Celsius over zero. Plant gladioli bulbs again next spring.

One package contains 5 gladioli bulbs of the presented variety. These bulbs are sized 12/14 centimetres in circumference. The basic plant information and growing instructions can be found on the package label.
