Sword Lily 'Robinetta', Hardy Gladiolus 'Robinetta', Dwarf Gladiolus 'Robinetta'
Award-winner Gladiolus ‘Robinetta’ is a lovely addition to the garden with its long-lasting, fiery red blooms with dainty white markings. Its eye-catching flowers (up to 7 per stem), are slightly fragrant and grow on loose spikes (2-3 spikes per corm) that are adorned with narrow, deep-green sword-shaped leaves. Spectacular on its own, in the 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.
