Passos Gladiolus

Tall, robust stems reaching up to 5' in height produce striking, single-sided flower spikes. The 4" wide florets display gorgeous plum hues with a deep purple center that's tinged with red. Honeybees, butterflies and other pollinators can't resist the allure of the sugar-rich nectar produced by these showy flowers. With its dramatic blooms and sword-like foliage, Passos Gladiolus is a bold choice for growing in back of a border or using as a cut flower. Hungry deer and rabbits tend to stay away from glads.
