Gladiolus tristis hybrids, Night-Scented Gladiola

These most elegant April through May ivory-green flowers have faint, rusty-red markings, and are beautifully fragrant of sweet almond at night. It's truly wondrous to catch the scent of a mature clump—it will draw you in. With very fine, rush-like foliage and wands holding what seems like a flurry of butterflies, this plant is no less than exquisite. It deserves every superlative I've just supplied and more. 2'+ tall stems; clumping. Ships when dormant. Minimum temperature: 10° F
