Stunning two-tone ruby red hooded flowers on this natural looking Gladiolus. Makes an excellent garden plant and will increase well in drained soil in full sun. 90cm.
Very like Gladiolus papilio but, for us at least, more vigorous and hardier. Gladiolus 'Ruby' will make a good addition to herbaceous borders and it looks great in grass filled naturalistic plantings too.
Hardy.
Syn. Gladiolus papilio 'Ruby'.
