Description
Conjure up a spellbinding summer show with the help of Gladiolus 'Amber Mistique'. Like frilly flower wands, the tall, upright stems appear in summer, embellished with radiant cream-coloured flowers. In the centre of each bloom is a starry blackcurrant blotch which gives this beautiful variety its magical spark. This bright beauty will sit sweetly among the hotchpotch charm of a cottage-garden border, but Gladiolus 'Amber Mistique' behaves well in more formal styles too!
Gladiolus make sensational cut flowers—their stems are long, sturdy and the flower spikes are always hugely impressive. Plant plenty so you have enough to snip a few stems to bring indoors. Despite its flamboyant looks, Gladiolus 'Amber Mistique' is easy to grow and low maintenance. It requires free-draining soil and a sunny position, all you need to do is plant the bulbs in spring and look forward to what follows in summer! From relaxed gardens to neatly-planned urban patios, this elegant variety works equally well. Plant Gladiolus 'Amber Mistique' in groups or dot them around in swathes to introduce height and vertical structure to your planting scheme.
