Notcutts Gladioli Parrot Burning Sunrays

Gladioli ‘Parrot Burning Sunrays’ is a vibrant, eye-catching variety featuring striking ruffled petals in glowing shades of yellow. Reaching up to 100 cm / 3 feet tall, its bold flower spikes add instant drama and sunshine to garden beds and borders. The bright, inviting blooms are also butterfly-friendly, attracting pollinators and helping create a lively, wildlife-friendly garden. This standout Gladioli is equally effective as a colourful focal point outdoors or as a striking cut flower.

Planting: Plant Gladioli corms in spring after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Choose a sunny, well-drained location, as Gladioli performs best in full sun. Plant corms at the recommended depth and spacing, then water well after planting. For an extended flowering season, stagger plantings every couple of weeks.

Plant Care: Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Tall stems may need staking, especially in windy locations. Remove spent blooms to keep plants looking tidy. In colder climates, lift corms after the foliage yellows following the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over winter, then replant in spring once the risk of frost has passed.
