Gladiolus 'Velvet Raspberry'

Gladiolus 'Velvet Raspberry' brings a rich, velvety indulgence to the summer border. Each tall, stately spike is adorned with sumptuous raspberry-red blooms that seem almost to glow from within—petals soft as satin and deeply coloured like crushed berries in sunlight. Their bold, upright form creates a natural sense of structure, adding rhythm and height to planting schemes while drawing the eye irresistibly upward. Gladiolus 'Velvet Raspberry' is a flower that speaks of passion and refinement in equal measure.

As striking in the vase as it is in the garden, Gladiolus 'Velvet Raspberry' makes an exceptional cut flower, its blooms lasting well and arranging beautifully alongside dahlias, roses and late-summer perennials. Plant the corms in succession for a continuous display from midsummer into early autumn, and enjoy a show that feels both timeless and dramatic. Whether standing tall in a sunny border or gathered in elegant arrangements indoors, Gladiolus 'Velvet Raspberry' delivers pure, luxurious red colour at every turn.
