Description
Gladiolus ‘Lemon Ruffle’ is a radiant addition to any garden, with its glowing lemon-yellow petals and delicately ruffled edges creating a soft yet striking display.
The blooms open gradually along the tall, upright stems, ensuring a longer-lasting presence that makes this variety a standout choice for borders, cutting gardens, or mixed summer displays. Its sword-like green foliage adds structure and contrast, making it a versatile plant that works beautifully in a variety of settings. Blooming from July to September, it fills the height of summer with vibrant colour and effortless elegance.
This variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and sunny locations, rewarding minimal care with robust growth and consistently impressive flowering. What sets ‘Lemon Ruffle’ apart is its mild, citrus-like fragrance—an uncommon feature among gladioli—which adds another layer of sensory appeal. The blooms are also remarkably resilient, handling summer’s occasional wet or breezy days with ease. Whether planted in clusters for impact or mixed with other perennials for a layered look, ‘Lemon Ruffle’ brings warmth and charm to every garden.
We supply premium-quality Gladiolus ‘Lemon Ruffle’ bulbs. For the best results, plant in spring at a depth of 10–15 cm, spacing bulbs 10–15 cm apart. Water regularly during the growing season and consider staking taller stems in exposed areas for added support.
