Sword Lily 'Charisma', Gladiola 'Charisma'
Incredibly showy, Gladiolus ‘Charisma’ features large, elegantly ruffled, golden yellow flowers. The blossoms are arranged closely and symmetrically on strong and erect spikes rising above pointed sword-like leaves. Since the flowers open from the bottom of the spike up, sword-lilies provide a long-lasting floral display, each flowering spike blooming for up to two weeks.
