Description
Zany, boho beauty sums up the look that Gladiolus 'Zizanie' is going for. This quirky character will certainly stop you in your tracks when its in full summer swing, it’s a real must-have for anyone looking to have a little fun with their planting or to use as an accent among other plants in contrasting colours—purple works well with this. The remarkable stems of this sword lily rocket skywards in summer, forming a tall, statuesque plant with generously-sized frilly blooms, each containing varying degrees of shocking scarlet and brilliant white. Certainly no shrinking violet, Gladiolus 'Zizanie' oozes eccentric character and suggests the hand of a light-hearted and confident gardener.
If you like growing your own cut flowers, you’ll find that you can put together some sizzling-hot creations with Gladiolus 'Zizanie'. With its irregular markings, it has a free-spirit charm which looks great in beautiful mixed boho bouquets. On the other hand, with tall stems which are packed with big blooms, you can simply bunch a few together without any other flowers and it’ll look equally amazing. Plant your Gladiolus 'Zizanie' corms in a sunny border with free-draining soil in spring and look forward to what erupts in summer!
