£6.99
Gladioli Black Star also known as the ‘Sword Lily’ has beautiful satin petals, of deep scarlet-purple. A sultry flower, with velvety blooms enhanced by their sword-shaped foliage. The tall stems adding stature, along with the rich colour makes them undoubtedly the plant of choice for any garden or patio hoping to achieve a more striking display.
Gladioli Black Star is fantastic for pollinators and butterflies and bees love them! They also make beautiful cut-flowers making them ideal to enjoy indoors too!
Gladiolus are easy to grow, provided you use a sunny location and plant them in soil with good drainage. They do not like sitting in soggy soil so please add grit or sand to your soil to ensure free drainage.
Vulnerable to being bowed by the wind, or the flower spikes weight, gladioli need shelter from summer storm winds and staking will help keep taller varieties upright.
Feed them with a high potash feed during flowering to encourage more flowers and slow feeding down once all blooms have finished. Ensure that during the winter they are not sitting in water as this can rot the tuber.
