Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Often misspelled, this name refers to Gladiolus communis subsp. byzantinus, the Byzantine gladiolus, native to the Mediterranean basin. Hardy and vigorous, it produces tall spikes of vivid magenta-pink flowers in spring, very conspicuous in meadows and dry gardens. Grow in full sun, in well-drained soil, even poor soil; it naturalises easily, multiplies freely from offsets, and tolerates both cold and summer drought well.
