How to Grow
Planting: Plant 'Purple Party' bulbs in spring, once the last frost has passed, in a sunny and sheltered spot with well-drained soil. For a striking effect, plant in clusters or rows. Place each bulb about 10-15cm deep and space them 10-15cm apart to allow ample room for growth. These bulbs also do well in large containers.
Watering: Water the bulbs thoroughly after planting to encourage root establishment, then keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. During dry spells, water deeply to support strong growth and encourage vibrant blooms, avoiding waterlogged conditions.
Feeding: Use a balanced, liquid fertiliser every two weeks once the shoots begin to appear. Regular feeding will encourage robust growth and large, vivid flowers. Stop feeding once the flowering period is over.
Staking: 'Purple Party' gladioli can grow quite tall and may need support. Insert stakes or plant supports as the plants grow to keep the stems upright, especially in windy locations.
Deadheading and Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming along the stem. After flowering is complete, allow the foliage to die back naturally, which helps the bulbs store energy for next year.
Overwintering: In colder UK regions, lift and store the bulbs once the foliage has died back. Carefully dig up the bulbs, allow them to dry, and store them in a cool, frost-free place until replanting in spring. In milder areas, the bulbs can be left in the ground with a protective layer of mulch.

With its bold purple blooms and graceful, towering spikes, Gladioli 'Purple Party' brings a touch of drama and elegance to the garden, creating a captivating display from mid-summer to early autumn and adding beauty to any indoor flower arrangement.
