Gladiolus Live Oak – warm orange colors for garden and bouquet

Gladiolus Live Oak is a striking large-flowered gladiolus that makes the summer garden shine with its deep orange to warm orange-yellow flowers. The rich, almost tropical color gives borders a sunny appearance and forms a beautiful accent among other summer bloomers. The large flowers grow along sturdy, stately flower spikes and open gradually, allowing you to enjoy the colorful bloom for an extended period.

Gladiolus Live Oak reaches a height of approximately 90 to 120 cm, making it ideally suited for the center or background of a border. Flowering occurs primarily in late summer, with August and September being the main flowering months. The sword-shaped green foliage forms a beautiful backdrop for the striking orange flowers.

Plant the bulbs in the spring in a sunny location in fertile, well-draining soil. A planting depth of approximately 10 to 15 cm is suitable. Planting multiple bulbs together creates an impressive expanse of color. Furthermore, for a longer flowering period, you can plant at intervals so that different groups bloom one after another.

The warm orange color of Live Oak combines beautifully with yellow, red, and other orange tones for a fiery summer border. For more contrast, purple, blue, or green flowers are excellent partners. This gladiolus also looks particularly beautiful among dahlias.

Gladiolus Live Oak is also an excellent cut flower. The long flower stems and large flowers provide height and color in summer bouquets and floral arrangements.

With its warm color, stately growth, and versatile use, Gladiolus Live Oak is a beautiful choice for borders, cutting gardens, and bouquets.
