Gladiolus papilio 'Ruby'
Gladiolus 'Ruby'
Price: $10.00 (Out of Stock)

Quart Pot
A likely Gladiolus papilio hybrid with some saying it is a form of papilio, our mama plant when in bloom with its 5 foot stems of red-mauve flowers sporting dark eye patches, has frequently caused plant geeks to start speaking in tongues other than Latin binomials and to offer creative enticements in exchange for "just a small start". We have had to say "Sorry" until now although if those enticements are still on the table, we're listening. Perfectly hardy in the ground here.

Quart Pot
This is a late flowering form of this perfectly hardy species with brilliant orange and yellow flowers above gray-green foliage. Since it is a late bloomer, try this against a south or west wall where it will bask in the heat and be shielded from early frosts. Great for extending that fall color with a splash of bloom.

A very cool species from wild collected seed in South Africa. We are thrilled to offer this choice little goody. Beautiful pale salmon flowers with delicate highlights in the throat. This is so much better in our opinion than those big Glad hybrids which always remind me of funerals.

A most improbable looking Glad but one you will be glad to grow. Pun intended. This South African species never fails to garner attention when it is in flower and is perfectly hardy in the ground here. The flowers are somewhat hooded and are white brushed with purple on the outside and a yellow splash outlined in maroon inside. In nursery parlance, this is a good grower and fast increaser which translates to "plant it where you want a lot of it" as this makes a staggering number of new bulbs each year. This has taken the "Go forth and multiply" thing to a whole new level. So forewarned is forearmed and all that. It is a cool plant and a lot of gardens have a spot that can be devoted to an eternal Gladiolus papilio monoculture.
