Description
Pretty, delicate and invaluable for May pots and flower arrangements. I love this mixed with aquilegias in the garden and the vase.
Most gladioli you plant in the spring, but these species varieties you plant in the autumn. They also look wonderful in pots.
The petals are edible, they have a very mild flavour and can be used to decorate puddings and cakes
Care Tips
Water regularly during growing season and stake tall varieties. Lift after first frosts. If you're growing in containers, stop watering at the end of summer and bring the pots indoors for the winter.
