Gladiolus ‘Rostov’

Gladiolus 'Rostov' displays blends of red, blue and pink on ruffled flowers.

Gladiolus ‘Rostov’ offers a unique blend of red, blue, and pink on ruffled florets – seeing is believing! Great for the middle to back of the border due to its height. Glads require little space to grow, combine well with other plants, and make excellent cut flowers. Bulbs require good drainage. Leave foliage to nourish bulb after flowering. Mulch in winter. Lift before freezing.
