Gladiolus Circus Color

Product details

Gladiolus Circus Color lives up to its lively name with a dazzling display of multi-coloured blooms that bring energy and excitement to any garden. Its petals are a playful mix of bold crimson-red and bright yellow, often with striking streaks and splashes that give each flower a unique character. This variety’s bold and cheerful personality makes it an instant favourite for borders, beds, and cutting gardens.. Growing to an impressive height of 100-120 cm, Circus Color produces tall, strong stems lined with flowers that open sequentially from the bottom upwards, ensuring a long-lasting display. Flowering in mid to late summer, it adds a dramatic pop of colour during the warmest months, complementing other summer perennials. The plant’s upright, sword-like foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the vibrant blooms, adding architectural interest even before the flowers appear.. One of the lesser-known qualities of Gladiolus Circus Color is its adaptability. While it thrives in sunny, well-drained conditions, it is surprisingly hardy for such an exotic-looking flower and can tolerate light shade. Its sturdy stems are ideal for cutting, allowing you to create bold, striking arrangements for indoor enjoyment. This variety also excels when planted in groups, creating a mass of colourful blooms that resemble a garden carnival.. We supply high-quality Gladiolus Circus Color bulbs to British gardeners. For the best results, plant in spring at a depth of 10-15 cm, spacing the bulbs 10-15 cm apart. Regular watering during the growing season will encourage strong stems and vibrant blooms, while staking may be required in exposed areas..
