Gladiolus carneus

Oh do we love this rare and beautiful South African species Gladiolus. Large flaring soft pink flowers painted deep crimson in the throat captivate even those bored-to-death “significant others” our visitors drag along to the nursery. Long-blooming, the flowers appear on upright stems to 2' tall in late Spring. With maturity you'll get more and more flowers and plants, as it increases by cormlets. So much more graceful and elegant than their overblown modern hybrids. Grow in well-drained soil with our without Summer water. Excellent in a container! Summer deciduous.
