Sword Lily 'Lumiere', Lumiere Sword Lily
Gladiolus ‘Lumiere’ (Sword Lily) is particularly showy with its spikes of hot pink blossoms adorned with mauve and ultraviolet at their petal tips. Each flower spike rises among erect, narrow, deep-green sword-shaped leaves. Spectacular on its own, in the summer garden or in a vase. 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.
