Gladiolus - Peche Melba
The Gladiolus Peche Melba, Gladioli', displays soft orange blooms with a light yellow center. Prized for large bouquets, stately gladioli (Yes, that's the accepted plural form, and much more graceful than the alternatives. ) offer an enormous color range, including the most delicate pastels, bold hues and almost unimaginable bi-colors. Their sword-like foliage and tall, impressive flower spikes make striking accents in the mixed flower border. For best garden effect, plant in groups of six or more of a single color, or grow dozens of them in a bed reserved for cutting. (Imagine the luxury of having arm-loads of glads to display around the house!) To enjoy blooms for many weeks through July and August, plant corms at two-week intervals from early spring until the end June. Glads are easy to grow, requiring only full sun and good drainage. Height 36-60". Bulb size: 14-16 cm. in circumference. Hardy in zones 8-11; elsewhere treat as an annual, or dig them in the fall and store over winter. ... find out more
