GLADEOLUS CARNEUS
An old garden favorite, the painted lady gladiolus is planted for its lovely blooms and is a hybrid parent of many newer gladiolus cultivars. Native to South Africa, this bulbous, clump-forming tender perennial inhabits sloped grasslands and areas, often with sandy loam soils. It naturalizes easily and has become weedy in some parts of the world, including Australia.
Clumps of long, sword-shaped rise from the ground and are equitant, which means they overlap and unfold like a fan. Both the leaves and flowers grow directly from the underground corms. The flower spikes appear in winter in South Africa and other more southerly locations. The flowers line one side of the stem and open from the bottom of the spike up. Each white or light pink, funnel-shaped bloom is fragrance-free and has six pointed petals that join at the base. The lower petals have large, linear, dark red marks.
