A charming and stately gladiolus variety in a lovely pink case. The color of the beautiful flowers looks just like cotton candy and at the very end you can glimpse a light yellow streak. The stable and sturdy stems are perfect for cutting and the variety lasts a very long time in a vase. Le Belle Jolie adds both color and height to the flowerbed and is magical to have planted in a pot.
If we had to choose only one gladiolus variety here at Florea, it would probably be this one. When we saw the beautiful color of Le Belle Jolie, we all agreed that this particular variety had an obvious place in our range.
(A big plus with gladiolus in particular is that deer don't like them, which means you often get to leave your beautiful flowers alone!)

Care and cultivation advice
Gladiolus is the crown jewel among autumn cut flowers and is known worldwide thanks to its long shelf life in a vase. The tubers should be planted in early spring when the frost has left the ground and the risk of frost is over. Be sure to choose a sunny but sheltered spot and then plant them shallow, about 5-10 cm deep. If the soil is still very wet and heavy, wait until it has dried up a bit. Gladiolus thrives best in well-drained and porous soil that contains manure. It is also perfectly possible to grow Gladiolus in a pot, but then make sure to use a slightly larger one.
If you want to harvest the beautiful flower buds, it should be done when the first bud is about to break out and you can glimpse the color of the flower. Then they gratefully bloom indoors bud after bud for a long period if they get access to new and fresh water.
When the cold comes and the frost is a fact, it is time to dig up the tubers again. They should then be stored cool and dark, but it is very important that it is frost-free. If you have grown Gladiolus in a pot, you do not need to dig up the tubers, but it is fine to store the whole pot for the winter.
