A Southern Garden Treasure

The Byzantine gladiolus delivers exceptional value and performance for gardeners seeking reliable perennial color. These remarkable plants offer:

• Stunning magenta funnel-shaped flowers on elegant 2-foot spikes
• Exceptional drought tolerance once established
• Deer and rabbit resistance for worry-free gardening
• Natural tendency to multiply and form impressive colonies over time
• Sword-shaped foliage that provides architectural interest
• Historical significance as a cherished heirloom variety

Unlike modern hybrid gladiolus, this authentic Byzantine variety returns reliably year after year, creating a legacy in the garden that improves with time.

Planting and Growing Information

Plant these hardy corms in fall, approximately 4 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in well-drained soil. For maximum visual impact, group at least 5-7 bulbs together. They thrive in full sun positions and bloom from late spring to early summer. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10 without protection; in colder regions, protect with winter mulch or lift corms after foliage dies back naturally. Consistent moisture during growth promotes optimal flowering.
