Gladiolus Nymph

Gladiolus Nymph has white flowers but is also clearly marked with luscious pink and purple lipstick kisses on the lower petals. Much less formally upright, the bigger flowers bending the stems this way and that, so they weave through surrounding plants with an appealing informality

Planting Instructions

Gladiolus Nymph corms should be planted in fertile, well drained gritty soil, 4-6" (10-15cm) deep, 4" (10cm) apart in small clumps in the sun. They grow away early and this may result in the foliage being susceptible to severe late frost, so mulching is a possible requirement. These plants need no staking or lifting in the winter in warm and sheltered areas where they make good garden plants and cut flowers. If yours is a cold garden, the winter dormant hybrid forms are also sold in the spring so buy them then instead,
