Description
Gladiolus Evi Glamini® is a dwarf gladiolus with large flowers from the Gladdies series, selected for decorating bed borders, containers and other small spaces. It produces upright spikes packed with deep pink flowers with a lighter centre, creating a beautiful gradient effect on each stem. Its short, sturdy stems are also perfect for summer cut flower arrangements.
Like all gladioli, ‘Evi’ belongs to the Iridaceae family. It is a perennial with a corm that is not very hardy: plant the bulbs in spring in well-drained soil, then lift in autumn in regions with cold winters to be stored dry and frost-free. This cultivar belongs to the horticultural group Glamini® and the Gladdies series; it is a collection of dwarf 50 to 70 cm tall gladioli, with flowers comparable in size to those of standard gladioli. Their shorter, naturally robust stems do not require staking.
The plant forms a clump of medium green, long, narrow, sword-shaped leaves. The rigid flower stems reach 50-60 cm in height and bear up to 20 flowers that are slightly wavy, 7–9 cm in diameter. The above-ground growth is deciduous: the foliage dies back completely after flowering, while the corm rests until the following spring.
In the garden, the ‘Evi’ gladiolus pairs particularly well with purplish or cream tones that accentuate its rich pink colouring. It can be planted in small clumps in front of a single-flowered dahlia with purple foliage like ‘Waltzing Mathilda’, among the garnet spikes of sage ‘Love and Wishes’ or the airy stems of vervain ‘Bampton’. Its flowers also work very well alongside the light spikes of Panicum virgatum ‘Purple Tears’. In a vase, its stems combine beautifully with a few umbels of Ammi majus 'Queen of Africa' and clouds of baby's breath.

Planting and care
Hybrid Gladiolus Glamini® Evi prefers rich, fertile, yet well-drained soils, such as loamy and sandy types. Plant in full sun. Space the bulbs or corms 10 to 15 cm apart, covered with 10 cm of soil. Feed after cutting the flowers. Avoid using manure, which encourages bulb rot. Gladioli are sensitive to frost. Therefore, they should be lifted once they have faded or immediately after the first frosts. Cut the leaves and allow the plants to dry in a well-ventilated spot for three weeks. Remove the old bulbs. Store the new bulbs and bulblets throughout the winter in a cool, frost-free location. The bulblets will flower in two years. It is best not to plant gladiolus bulbs in the same spot for several consecutive years. An annual rotation will yield better results. In mild climates, Gladiolus can be planted in September-October and overwintered in situ.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
