Gladiolus 'Lucky Star'

It’s a fortuitous moment indeed when you find a plant which flaunts not only fabulous flowers but a fantastic fragrance too. Gladiolus 'Lucky Star' is a hybrid crossed with wild Gladiolus murielae, which means this lucky strike provide the best of both gladiolus worlds—big and showy blooms plus a sweet scent.  The flowers are gleamingly white and starry, there’s also the characteristic claret-coloured blotch which is inherited from the Abyssinian gladiolus.   

Plant your Gladiolus 'Lucky Star' bulbs in a sunny border with free-draining soil during spring. This variety can grow fairly tall and is an impressive presence in a mixed planting scheme with beautiful upright flower spikes. Due to its height, it is a good idea to give it a sheltered position where it’ll be protected from strong winds. If you like growing your own flowers for indoor arrangements, you’ll love having a good supply of these! The heady fragrance and generous stems make Gladiolus callianthus 'Lucky Star' a real statement piece for a tall vase.
