Gladiolus Nymph

Gladiolus Amsterdam

White / Spike, Focal

Gladiolus ‘Amsterdam’ is a tall, large-flowered white glad for growers who need clean vertical stems with strong florist recognition. It is grown from graded corms, usually produces one main spike per corm, and is best scheduled in successions so the farm has usable stems over several weeks instead of a single flush. The crop is not difficult, but it is unforgiving about thrips, straightness, support, and postharvest handling.

Gladiolus Apricot Beauty

Orange / Line

‘Apricot Beauty’ is a soft peach-apricot large-flowered gladiolus for growers who want the strong vertical productivity of glads in a more refined florist colour. It should be grown from clean flowering-size corms, harvested as lower florets show colour, and handled upright with preservative so the spike opens cleanly.

Gladiolus Atom

Red / Line

Gladiolus ‘Atom’ is a compact, heritage-style red gladiolus with a narrow white edge that gives the strong vertical presence of a glad without the bulk of large funeral-style spikes. It is well suited to local farms that want a more modern, bouquet-friendly gladiolus for market bunches, subscriptions, and florist work.

Gladiolus Black Star

Burgundy / Line

Gladiolus 'Black Star' is a tall, large-flowered corm crop with velvety dark burgundy-red blooms that can read almost black in shade. It should be planned as a one-main-spike-per-corm cut flower, with the grower using graded corms, warm soil, full sun, steady moisture, good air movement, and active thrips scouting. It is best for growers who can sell bold, dramatic stems through florists, events, sympathy work, or premium farm bunches rather than relying only on soft mixed bouquet demand.

Gladiolus Blue Isle

Purple / Line

Gladiolus ‘Blue Isle’ is a tall, blue-purple, large-flowered gladiolus grown from corms for dramatic fresh cut spikes. It gives the farm a cool-toned line flower for summer and warm-season bouquets, event work, florist orders, and large arrangements. Plan it by corms planted, expect about one main saleable spike per good corm, plant in successions, support early, harvest as the lower florets show colour, and keep stems upright during every warm handling step.

Gladiolus Boone

Apricot / Line

Gladiolus ‘Boone’ is a warm apricot-peach hardy gladiolus grown from corms, prized for a softer, more heirloom look than standard large florist glads. It is useful for growers who want vertical summer stems with wedding-friendly color and the possibility of perennialized production. It still needs gladiolus-level postharvest discipline: straight stems, thrips control, clean water, sugar support, and upright handling.

Gladiolus Charm

Pink / Line

‘Charm’ is a graceful dwarf or hardy gladiolus with pinkish-purple flowers and a pale white blotch, giving growers a smaller, softer line flower than standard grandiflora glads. It should be grown from clean corms in warm, well-drained soil, harvested as the lower florets show colour, and handled upright with preservative so buds open cleanly along the spike.

Gladiolus Chocolate

Brown / Line

Gladiolus ‘Chocolate’ is a tall, large-flowered specialty gladiolus grown from corms for unusual chocolate-brown, bronze-red, and burgundy-toned spikes. It gives strong vertical impact, useful florist colour, and good event value, but it needs clean stock, drainage, thrips management, upright handling, and support in exposed sites.

Gladiolus Cream Perfection

Cream / Line

Gladiolus 'Cream Perfection' is a tall, large-flowered corm crop with creamy ivory blooms and soft blush-apricot warmth. It should be planned as a one-main-spike-per-corm crop for summer and warm-season harvest, with succession planting, strong hydration, thrips scouting, and careful handling of pale petals. Its best value is in wedding, florist, sympathy, and premium neutral-colour markets.
