Gladiolus carmineus — Cliff Gladiolus
A TRADUIRE Un gros corme à planter pendant l'été pour lui permettre de commencer sa végétation à la fin de la saison et de produire une hampe à grosses fleurs rouges. Dans la nature on le trouve souvent accroché dans les rochers avec une végétation vert glauque courbée et aplatie, pendue vers le bas, ce qui explique que la hampe florale pousse de manière oblique
The genus
The popular horticultural gladioli are mostly summer-flowering hybrids derived from species growing in subtropical regions with summer rain. Only two of these species and a cultivar are presented in our winter catalog. However, there is a very important section of winter-growing species from the Cape and the Mediterranean area. They are spring-flowering and very suitable for the Mediterranean climate and are available for planting in late summer or autumn. The South African winter-growing species are generally elegant rather than exuberant. Many have well-spaced tubular flowers rather than a lot of them crammed together.They also are very good pot plants.
