Majestic blossoms in the deepest shade of royal purple create a dramatic backdrop in cottage gardens and formal borders. This statuesque gladiolus towers 4-5' tall with 3-4" florets elegantly arranged along one side of vigorous stems. A cherished exhibition variety, Purple Flora's dark-throated flowers feature rich purple markings that add sophistication to both the landscape and fresh bouquets, making it a favourite among florists and home gardeners alike. Plant these summer-flowering bulbs in large groups for maximum impact. They can act as a living screen or as a backdrop for shorter perennials to create a layered effect. These reliable bloomers also attract beneficial pollinators to the garden and make exceptional cut flowers, lasting up to two weeks in arrangements.
