Gladiolus nanus is a smaller, hardy gladiola native to Africa. ‘Halley’ has ivory flowers with creamy centres. They have the benefit of a very long bloom period, taking little space to grow, such that they combine well with other plants, and make excellent cut flowers. Bulbs require good drainage. Leave the foliage to nourish the bulb after cutting back the flower stalk and mulch in winter.
