| Gladiolus communis subsp. byzantinus | ||||||||||||
| Byzantine gladiolus | ||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
| A delightful species gladiolus with vibrant magenta blooms in late spring. The foliage can be somewhat lax, so some light support is recommended (I use string around a ring of short canes). Hardy in most areas - if in doubt, mulch! | ||||||||||||
| Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
| Plant corms 10-16cm (4-6in) deep in autumn. In heavier soils it is best to place the corms on a bed of fine grit or sharp sand to aid drainage. |
