Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the large-flowered gladiolus group. The flowers are large, white, and reach 11–12 cm in diameter. The inflorescence is a spike that may branch, making the plant more lush. The foliage is dark green, linear, and sword-shaped.

The plant reaches a height of up to 1.5 meters. Flowering in a temperate climate occurs in August. The variety is intended for cultivation in the garden and for cut flowers, and prefers well-drained soils and full sun exposure.

The plant requires protection from wind or staking to prevent the lodging of heavy inflorescences.
