Gladioli Byzantinus

Gladiolus byzantinus, often known as the Byzantine Gladiolus or simply Byzantinus Gladiolus, is a stunning perennial that brings elegance and vibrant colour to your garden with its tall spikes of tubular flowers.

Features:

• Elegant Flowers: Gladiolus byzantinus features striking, tubular flowers in shades of rich pink or magenta, sometimes with subtle white or purple markings. The blooms are arranged in dense spikes that create a dramatic vertical element in the garden.
• Tall Stature: This gladiolus variety typically grows to about 60-90 cm (24-36 inches) tall, making it a prominent addition to garden beds and borders. Its height and flower spikes create a vertical accent that draws the eye.
• Long-Blooming: The flowers appear in mid to late summer, offering a vibrant display that lasts for several weeks. The blooms are long-lasting both on the plant and as cut flowers in arrangements.
• Hardy and Reliable: Gladiolus byzantinus is known for its robustness and reliability. It is more tolerant of cooler temperatures compared to other gladiolus varieties and can often naturalize in the garden.

Planting Tips:

• Best Time to Plant: Plant corms in the spring after the last frost, as gladiolus byzantinus is not winter-hardy in most regions and requires warmer soil temperatures to thrive.
• Sun & Soil: This gladiolus prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot and support healthy growth.
• Spacing: Space corms about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) apart to allow for their natural spread and to create a more impactful display.

Add Gladiolus byzantinus to your garden for a touch of grace and vibrant colour. Its elegant, tall spikes and long-lasting blooms make it a striking choice for creating a dramatic summer display, whether in garden beds, borders, or as part of a floral arrangement.
