💜 Gladiolus ‘Dreamy Violet’
Gladioli ‘Dreamy Violet’ is the kind of bloom that makes you stop, stare, and say “phwoar.” With lush two-tone purple petals stacked along tall, elegant stems, she’s got that moody magic that turns a garden bed into a masterpiece.


Whether you’re planting for a picking patch or adding height to your borders, this glad’s a top performer — hardy, reliable, and flash as anything.


🌿 The Good Stuff:
•     Colour: Rich violet with lighter purple accents — dreamy as
•     Height: 80–120 cm — tall enough to make a statement
•     Bloom Time: Summer (around 90 days from planting)
•     Sunlight: Full sun — she’s a sunseeker
•     Soil: Well-drained, mound it up if your soil’s a bit heavy
•     Watering: Keep moist while flowering, but don’t drown her
•     Top Uses: Cut flowers, borders, cottage gardens, picking patches
🌱 Growing Tips:
•     Plant corms 10–12 cm deep after the last frost
•     Space 15 cm apart for airflow and impact
•     Stake if the wind’s giving it heaps, or mound soil at the base for support
•     Spray every 2–3 weeks to keep bugs and fungi at bay
•     Lift and store corms in autumn in a cool, airy spot
🏡 Styling Ideas:
Pair her with silvery foliage, blush dahlias, or ornamental grasses for a soft, romantic vibe. Or chuck her next to bold reds and deep burgundies for a moody, high-impact combo.
