Gladiolus byzantinus

 Perfect for bridging the gap between the last of the spring bulbs and the first of the summer perennials, this is a gorgeous, late-spring flowering bulb bearing spikes of funnel-shaped flowers in the most intense magenta pink. It works well as a planting partner to silver-leafed plants and also in meadow-style plantings, mixed with other bright colours. In the right site, it can be naturalised, too. It also makes a great focal point as part of a container display, and makes an excellent cut flower.

Prefers full sun in a free draining soil.
