Description
Gladiolus ‘Milka’ is a beautiful and refined variety known for its soft lavender-purple blooms with subtle white accents at the throat. The gently ruffled petals give this gladiolus a delicate, graceful appearance, making it a perfect choice for borders, cutting gardens, or summer displays. The tall, elegant flower spikes rise from upright, sword-like green foliage, creating vertical interest and a stunning contrast to the softly coloured blooms. Flowering from July to September, ‘Milka’ adds soothing tones and a tranquil presence to your garden.
This gladiolus thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal care to achieve exceptional results. The flowers open sequentially along the spike, ensuring a long-lasting display of colour throughout the summer. Milka is an ideal choice for planting in groups or mixing with other summer perennials, and it also makes a lovely cut flower, with blooms that maintain their shape and colour well in arrangements.
