Gladiolus Fairytale Pink Bring a lovely splash of pink to your summer garden with tall flower spikes that open into cheerful, ruffled blooms. The pretty pink petals and lighter centres make a fresh, welcoming combination, whether you grow a few stems among your border flowers or pick them for a vase.

Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with soil that drains well. Plant the corms around 10–15cm deep and 10–15cm apart in spring, once the danger of hard frost has passed. Plant in little groups for a fuller display and water when the weather is dry. If stems need support, add a discreet cane. After flowering, leave the leaves to fade naturally; in colder or very wet gardens, lift and store the corms dry and frost-free.

About our bulbs: We work closely with our growers to select quality, top-sized bulbs for British gardens. Our range is trialled and tested at our Suffolk trials ground or by the growers we work with, helping you plant with confidence.
