For a Splash of Summer Color – Gladiolus Bunches
August 1, 2024
If your birthday is in August then you may know Gladiolus is one of the birth flowers for this month! For anyone with an August birthday, a bouquet of beautiful gladiolus is the perfect gift to easily pick up at the closest Lunds & Byerlys location near you.
For a splash of color in the final month of summer, Bachman’s locally-grown 10-stem bunch of gladiolus is an easy way to bring in this summer favorite to brighten up your home. With impressive tall stems, this bloom makes any arrangement a showstopper!
Gladiolus is a symbol of strength, intelligence, and remembrance, which makes it a thoughtful gift for any occasion or just to show your appreciation for someone special. This bloom comes in many colors including classic white, pink, red, purple and yellow. Plus, each color holds a different meaning:
– Red symbolizes love
– Pink means compassion
– White represents innocence
– Yellow symbolizes friendship
– Purple means beauty
For a modern floral look, simply place gladioli with curly willow in a tall glass vase. These eye-catching stems don’t need any additional adornment with other blooms- they take center stage! Contrasting flowers like hydrangea with their round blooms can make a beautiful filler at the base of your arrangement.
Cut gladiolus will last from 6 to 12 days in a vase. To extend the life of your cut flowers, be sure to mix in flower food with cool water. Change the water frequently and trim the ends of the stems at an angle every 2-3 days.
