Description
Enjoy a fruity fusion of peach and raspberry tones in your summer planting scheme with this bicolour beauty, Gladiolus 'Apricot Bubblegum'. Forming wand-like flower spikes in the height of summer, each impressive stack of apricot-pink big blooms is a fun and funky colour combo, jazzed-up to the max with rippling, wavy-edged petals. Watch as these flowers gradually unfurl from the base to the tip of each upright stem—not only is Gladiolus 'Apricot Bubblegum' a fascinating and beautiful plant to have in your border, but is brandishes a banquet of nectar which will bring in the bees.
Growing happily in most sunny borders with well-drained soil, Gladiolus 'Apricot Bubblegum' is narrow and tall which makes it a useful plant for dotting around in the spaces between other plants to plug every gap and create swathes of colour. For a different look, plant them in dense groups to make more of a feature out of them. As with all gladioli, these are incredible cutflowers with a long vase life and impressive stature.
