Notcutts Gladioli Sapporo

Gladioli ‘Sapporo’ is an exquisite variety featuring tall, upright stems reaching close to 90 cm / 3 feet, each carrying an abundance of elegant blooms. The flowers blend soft pink and creamy-yellow tones, highlighted by a striking raspberry-red center for added drama. Budding begins in mid-summer, bringing vertical interest and vibrant colour to sunny garden spaces. This eye-catching Gladioli is also a standout in floral arrangements, where its graceful spikes truly shine.

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, and water well after planting to help establish roots. Stagger plantings every couple of weeks for a longer flowering season.

Plant Care: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Taller stems may require staking to prevent bending or breakage, particularly in windy areas. Remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy. In colder climates, lift corms after the foliage has yellowed following the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over winter. Replant in spring once frost risk has passed.
