Gladiolus Apricot Bubble Gum

Gladiolus Apricot Bubble Gum is a truly eye-catching variety, blending soft apricot tones with hints of pink and coral that deepen towards the ruffled edges of each petal. This unique colour combination creates a warm, cheerful display, reminiscent of summer sunsets and festive gatherings. Perfect for borders or as a cut flower, this gladiolus adds vibrancy and a playful touch to any garden.

Growing to a height of approximately 100-120 cm, Apricot Bubble Gum produces tall, elegant flower spikes that emerge from a base of sword-like green foliage. Its blooms appear in mid to late summer, providing a stunning focal point during the height of the season when gardens are alive with colour. The upright stems ensure a strong, architectural presence, whether planted in groups or mixed with other summer perennials.

What makes this variety particularly special is its ability to thrive in various conditions. While it loves sunny spots and well-drained soil, it’s also robust enough to withstand the occasional summer shower. Its flowers last well in the vase, making it an ideal choice for creating bold indoor arrangements. A lesser-known fact about Gladiolus Apricot Bubble Gum is that its blooms open sequentially along the stem, ensuring a prolonged period of beauty.

We supply premium-quality Gladiolus Apricot Bubble Gum bulbs to gardeners across the UK. For the best results, plant in spring at a depth of 10-15 cm, spacing bulbs 10-15 cm apart. Regular watering during growth ensures taller, healthier stems, while staking may be needed to support the blooms in exposed areas.
