GLADIOLUS - species

We are concentrating on increasing our range of the delightful species gladiolus. These are not to be confused with the large-flowered Gladiolus; they have a grace and charm absent in many of these.  They flower much earlier, are smaller, more elegant and do not require staking. Most are reasonably hardy in the south of England and like to be planted in full sun in a good garden soil.

Plant List

GLADIOLUS RUBY (papilio)

This spectacular late summer-early autumn flowering gladioli has large, horizontal flowers of the richest ruby on arching stems , each with a darker centre.   It combines the depth of colour of a modern hybrid with the growth habit of its species parent - G.papilio. A superb garden plant producing  flower stems over a long period. Stoloniferous. Plant the bulbs 8cm deep in full sun in well drained soil.
