Sword Lily 'Violetta', Gladiola 'Violetta', Gladiolus x Hortulanus 'Violetta'
Gladiolus ‘Violetta’ is a striking addition to the garden with its rich royal-purple flowers delicately edged with a silvery white lining and exhibiting a white heart. These eye-catching ruffled blossoms are arranged closely and symmetrically on strong and erect spikes adorned with pointed sword-like leaves providing a fantastic summer color show. 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.
