Sword Lily 'Vista', Vista Sword Lily
Gladiolus ‘Vista’ (Sword Lily) is particularly showy with its spikes of lightly ruffled, pure white blossoms adorned with violet, lavender and deep purple. Each flower spike counts over 12 blooms and rises among erect, narrow, deep-green sword-shaped 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. Spectacular on its own, in the summer garden or in a vase.
