The gladioli, ‘Wine and Roses’ is a bi-color pink with a kiss of red! An old-time favorite, gladioli are usually grown for elegant flower arrangements. Their long stems mean you can grow arm-loads of flowers in a small space. Gladioli make great cut flowers. Their sword-like foliage and tall, impressive flower spikes, make striking accents in the mixed flower border. They are also key elements in a shrub border and amongst perennials. One of the best flowers for arrangements, lasting a week or more in the vase.
For best garden effect, plant in groups of six or more of a single color, or grow dozens of them in a bed reserved for cutting. Imagine the luxury of having arm-loads of glads to display around the house!
