Description
Go ahead with red! Gladiolus 'Advance' will supply a shock of it and when it bursts into fiery action in the middle of summer, you’ll be pleased you did. The fearless Gladiolus 'Advance' flaunts a conspicuous blaze of sizzling scarlet blooms on tall, upright stems. Big and loud, it’s fair to say this variety makes bold statement, but it doesn’t dominate. Being narrow, you can slot gladioli like this into any small gaps in a border and they will produce the most incredible flower spikes in between other plants. Combine Gladiolus 'Advance' with other hot colours or try it among cooler tones like purple to create a high-impact, jewel-like contrast.
Gladiolus 'Advance' is big on colour and size, typically growing to between 1.2-1.5m tall. Flourishing in most well-drained soils in a sheltered, sunny spot, it provides not only colour but also interest at a height and a strong vertical accent in summer borders. Gladiolus are prized by florists for their statement looks and generous vase-life. This striking variety is well worth snipping—its fiery blooms and sturdy stems that make a showy display in a tall vase.
