The Grandiflorus group of Gladiolus hybrids is by far the largest group with plants producing spectacular flower spikes that have large showy funnel shaped flowers in profusion.
The flowers add dramatic splashes of colour to the garden and they also make wonderful cut flowers.
For the best effect plant them in clumps, drifts or rows along your garden borders or in larger pots or tubs on your patios.
