Gladiolus virescens

An unusual and striking species gladiolus native to South Africa, adds a touch of the exotic to your garden. It forms a tidy clump of fine, grass-like foliage through the winter months, before bursting into bloom in spring with tall, elegant spikes of fragrant yellow-green flowers, each marked with a distinctive magenta splash.

This eye-catching perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Best suited to areas with light frosts, offer protection in colder regions. Summer dormant, so it disappears quietly beneath the soil during the hotter months, re-emerging as temperatures drop.

Ideal for rock gardens, containers or any spot needing a splash of spring colour and fragrance.
