Description

It's hard to beat this classy mixture of the three most superb textured and coloured gladioli.

The corm collection includes 15 or 30 corms each of:
  • Gladiolus 'Evergreen'
  • Gladiolus 'Plum Tart'
  • Gladiolus 'Purple Flora'

There's nothing Dame Edna about these.

This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.

The petals are edible, they have a very mild flavour and can be used to decorate puddings and cakes

Care Tips

Water regularly and stake tall varieties. Lift after first frosts. If you're growing in containers, stop watering at the end of summer and bring the pots indoors for the winter. Leave them in their pots or take them out and dry.
