Description

A wonderfully velvety gladioli in rich, saturated magenta. It's marvellous with acid-green and deep purple.

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. If you're growing in containers, stop watering at the end of summer and bring the pots indoors for the winter. Leave them in their pots or take them out and dry.
