The Shooter gladiolus undoubtedly belongs to exotic-looking varieties. Its lush flower clusters present an array of colours. The broadly opening petals display juicy yellow, light orange, lime green, and raspberry red accents. Groups of the intricately shaped flowers that form columns flower during the warmest months of July and August. The colourful gladioli that bask in the sun are a sight that would leave nobody untouched. Apart from being a reliable garden plant, this charming gladiolus is perfect for arranging bouquets and other cut flower decorations.

Plant gladioli bulbs from mid-April onwards, when the soil has reached a higher temperature and dries at least a bit after the winter. Sunny and sheltered spots that would protect plants from strong drafts are recommended for planting gladioli. These beautiful bulbous plants grow in almost every kind of soil. The most abundant specimens emerge from the soil that is rich in organic matter, fertile, and permeable. Gladioli bulbs cannot winter in the ground and must be dug out before the winter. Store them in cool and airy rooms.

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.
