Winter/Spring Flowering, 65cm x 25cm, Cut Flower 
Nothing like the usual gladioli, this has grey tinged leaves that are narrowly sword shaped and fairly lax.  The wiry stems grey carry spikes of dainty, funnel shaped, red flowers with white and dark pink markings.  Most attractive.  Increases well and has proved to be frost hardy.  Grow in sun and reasonable drainage but not dry.
