HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Gladiolus

GLADIOLI Gladiolus is named for its sword-like leaves as "gladius" means "sword" in Latin. The wild plant probably originated in Africa and varieties have been extensively cultivated for their showy spikes of blossoms in a wide range of colours. The present-day varieties are grown from their underground corms which bud off little cormels during the growing season and these are used to propagate the plants. Some may also be grown from seeds.
