Gladiolus My Love – romantic colors with a special edge

Gladiolus My Love is a striking large-flowered gladiolus with a romantic yet playful appearance. The large flowers are predominantly ivory white to bright white, with striking pink to raspberry-red stripes and accents along the edges. No two flowers are exactly alike, giving the flower spikes a lively and distinctive character. The combination of white and pink makes My Love easy to combine with other colors in the summer garden.

The plant forms sturdy, upright flower stalks with the sword-shaped green leaves characteristic of gladioli. Gladiolus My Love typically reaches a height of about 90 to 120 cm, with some sources mentioning a maximum height of up to approximately 140 cm. The flowers appear during the summer, making this variety very suitable for borders and cutting gardens.

Plant the bulbs in the spring in a sunny and preferably sheltered location. Fertile, well-draining soil yields the best results. A planting depth of approximately 10 cm is a good guideline. Planting multiple bulbs together creates a beautiful expanse of color. Furthermore, for a longer flowering period, the bulbs can be planted a few weeks apart.

Thanks to its soft colors, My Love combines beautifully with pink, purple, and white summer flowers. Dark red or violet flowers, on the other hand, create a strong contrast.

Gladiolus My Love is also an excellent cut flower. The long stems and distinctive two-colored flowers are ideal for summer bouquets and floral arrangements.

With its romantic coloration, stately growth, and excellent cutting qualities, Gladiolus My Love is a special choice for both the garden and the vase.
