As precise botanical information on Gladiolus jonquilliodorus could not be found in the sources consulted, the description below relies on general characteristics of the genus. The name suggests a species with a fragrance recalling jonquils, a trait shared by several winter- or spring-flowering South African Gladiolus, such as G. tristis or G. liliaceus. These cormous geophytes, with sword-shaped or cylindrical leaves, produce funnel-shaped flower spikes, often fragrant in the evening to attract night-flying pollinators. They require well-drained soil and a sunny position, with a dry summer rest.
