Gladiolus Traderhorn – vibrant red for garden and bouquet

Gladiolus Traderhorn is an impressive large-flowered gladiolus that immediately catches the eye with its bright scarlet red flowers. Subtle white to ivory-white accents are visible emerging from the heart of the flower, making the intense red color stand out even more. This striking color combination makes Traderhorn a beautiful choice for anyone looking to add a powerful splash of color to their garden during the summer.

The plant forms sturdy, upright flower stalks and reaches a height of approximately 100 cm. The large flowers are beautifully arranged along the flower spike and are surrounded by characteristic, sword-shaped green leaves. Gladiolus Traderhorn blooms primarily in July and August and, under favorable conditions, can also provide color later in the season.

Plant the tubers in the spring, from April to June, in a warm and sunny location. Preferably choose nutritious and well-draining soil. Plant the tubers approximately 7 to 10 cm deep, leaving about 10 to 12 cm of space between them. Planting multiple tubers in a group creates an impressive patch of red color.

The vibrant red color of Traderhorn combines excellently with white, yellow, and orange summer flowers. Purple and violet-blue flowers are particularly suitable for an exciting contrast. This gladiolus also comes into its own beautifully among tall perennials and dahlias.

Gladiolus Traderhorn is also an excellent cut flower. The long stems and striking red flowers instantly add color, height, and presence to summer bouquets. Cut the stems when the bottom flower begins to open, so that the remaining buds can continue to develop in the vase.

With its intense color, abundant bloom, and versatile use, Gladiolus Traderhorn is an excellent choice for borders, cutting gardens, and bouquets.
