Nothing wears pink ruffles with greater aplomb than Gladiolus 'Sweet Love'! A sensationally confident number, those big blooms burst onto the scene in mid summer with total confidence because they are just so fabulous and frilly. These impressive flower spikes may be just what you need to inject extra vibrancy and pizzazz to your summer borders. The stems of this sword lily are compact and sturdy—with their chunky, upward brush strokes, you’ll be surprised at how much a few bright gladioli like Gladiolus 'Sweet Love' can lift existing planting. Plant them in groups to create high impact blocks of lively pink, or let these run through your borders in swirling swathes between other plants.  

Gladiolus 'Sweet Love' looks particularly good erupting from sea of mauve blooms, and this  makes popular perennials like Nepeta 'Neptune Bokratune', Geranium 'Rozanne' or Salvia 'Caradonna' perfect planting partners. Alternatively, why not try growing it in a large, decorative container paired with the frothy fizz of Gypsophila 'Flamingo'? Bold spikes of cerise emerging from clouds of tiny, pale pink blooms. Truly divine!
