Description
Get giddy over the sugary-pink flowers of Gladiolus 'Adrenalin'! Colours like this call to mind childhood days of funfairs and candyfloss, the flower-packed stems of this gorgeous Glad are just as exciting. The sturdy flower spikes are bursting with frilly blooms, bringing carefree flamboyance to summer borders. Neat clumps of sword-shaped foliage surround each upright flower stem, making a crisp contrast to its extravagant blooms. Naturally, Gladiolus 'Adrenalin' makes a spectacular cut flower. Who could resist a bouquet of these fun-filled beauties?
Whether you’re growing Gladioli for cut flowers or just want to enjoy a prolonged display, plant the bulbs at two-week intervals during spring to provide an ongoing supply throughout the summer. Try growing them alongside the blackcurrant shades of Gladiolus 'Shaka Zulu' for truly mouth-watering combo! Reaching a manageable height of 1m, this variety delivers a dramatic vertical accent to any planting scheme without the need for staking. Gladiolus 'Adrenalin' are surprisingly easy to grow, favouring a sheltered sunny spot with free draining soil where they will happily fill the gaps between summer-flowering perennials.
