Gladiolus Soft Innocence

Unveil the delicate beauty of Gladiolus Soft Innocence, a variety known for its enchanting pastel pink blooms that exude an air of purity and innocence. These flowers, reminiscent of soft clouds, add a touch of ethereal charm to any garden or arrangement, transforming it into a tranquil oasis.

Reaching heights of up to 1.6 to 2 metres, Gladiolus Soft Innocence features slender, graceful stems that effortlessly support its delicate flower spikes. These spikes, resembling delicate wands, gracefully cascade down the stems, each holding an abundance of blooms that gently flutter in the breeze.

Despite their delicate appearance, Gladiolus Soft Innocence bulbs are surprisingly easy to cultivate. These versatile flowers thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding gardeners with a burst of pastel pink during the peak gardening season. Their long vase life also makes them an excellent choice for cut flowers, adding a touch of elegance to indoor arrangements.

To cultivate these captivating blooms, plant the corms in the spring, approximately 10 to 15 centimetres deep and 15 centimetres apart. Water regularly, especially during the growing season, and fertilise every few weeks to encourage abundant blooms. As the flower spikes reach maturity, provide support with stakes to prevent them from toppling over. Once the blooms have faded, allow the foliage to die back naturally before digging up the corms and storing them in a cool, dry place over the winter.
