Description
Gladiolus ‘Lemon Ruffle’ is a stunning summer-flowering perennial known for its radiant lemon-yellow petals and delicately ruffled edges. These cheerful blooms provide a soft yet striking display, adding elegance and warmth to any garden setting. The flowers open gradually along tall, upright stems, ensuring a long-lasting show that extends from July to September.
Growing to a height of 100-120 cm, Lemon Ruffle offers architectural interest with its sword-like green foliage, which contrasts beautifully with the vibrant flowers. This variety is perfect for borders, cutting gardens, or mixed summer displays, where it brings both structure and a burst of sunny colour. One of its standout features is a subtle, citrus-like fragrance—an unusual and delightful trait for a gladiolus—adding sensory appeal to its visual beauty.
Lemon Ruffle thrives in sunny locations and well-drained, fertile soil. It’s a low-maintenance plant that rewards basic care with robust growth and consistent flowering. The blooms are resilient, standing up well to summer rain or breezy conditions, making them reliable even in unpredictable weather.
