Gladioli 'Purple Flora'

Also known as Sword Lily, Gladioli Purple Flora brings a deep, velvety richness to the summer garden, with tall spires of luxurious purple blooms that stand out beautifully against green foliage and fade to blue as the season progresses. The elegant stems rise gracefully through borders and beds, adding height, movement, and a touch of drama as the flowers catch the light. Their bold, jewel toned colour creates a striking focal point, blending effortlessly with both soft pastels and brighter summer shades.

Planting and caring for Purple Flora is wonderfully simple. Set the corms into well drained soil in a sunny, sheltered spot, placing them in small groups so the stems can grow upright and steady. Water regularly as the shoots begin to appear, keeping the soil lightly moist, and offer a gentle feed as the flower spikes develop. As the season unfolds, these rich purple blooms sway softly in the breeze, bringing depth, elegance, and a sense of effortless summer beauty to the garden. With just a little care, this striking variety returns each year to add colour and height to your borders.
