About this plant
This small but exotic gladioli has two coloured flowers. They are held on a column with a tilting top. Below this are the open fan shapes of the individual flowers. The flowers are coloured a dusky red on the underside of the petals, this may also have areas of green or yellow suffusion. Within, the cup is creamy yellow but it may be partially edged with dusky red that spots into the main body of the bloom. There are chunky stamens within, coloured cream. This is August-flowering. This is tender and is generally lifted for the winter.

AutumnNow
Autumn - mid · Planting
Divide while dormant
Clumps of bulbs, corms or rhizomes can be divided when the plant is dormant. The divided bulbs or corms can immediately be replanted at a little distance from each other, or moved to other locations.
Spring
Spring - late · Outdoors
Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water in dry periods
Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.
Spring - late · Planting
Divide when too large
When the plant is too large clumps may be divided into two or more pieces. Rhizomes can be cut, whilst small bulbs or offsets are detached. The new plants can be grown in a container or planted in the ground.
