It is quite invasive but I like it. You can get varying colours from yellow through to bright red.

I have a clump of the basic orange coloured version in my garden but fancy some of the giant bright red ' Lucifer' variety. Smile

I have several clumps of Lucifer Vinny, if you pm me your address I will post some bulbs to you at the end of the season

I have Lucifer, it has thickened up a bit over the years but not invasive here.
I tried some other varieties in my long border but they died due to the dry Sad

I don't like those orange ones - they don't flower enough and creep everywhere

Are these those things you don’t like veggie? Can’t remember the name.
I was getting really excited as they were starting to open, never growing gladioli before so I didn’t realise until the flowers opened that they weren’t.

 

I did notice today 3 that look a little more promising. What do you think?
Yeah   Big Grin   I got gladioli
