From Growing Gladioli - The Gladiolus:-
"VARIETIES AND SPECIES FOR INDOOR FLOWERING ▪ Colvillei, The Bride. This is perhaps the purest white flower in cultivation, for not only are the petals pure white, so are the anthers. ▪ Colvillei rubra. Richest carmine-red, a grand companion to The Bride. ▪ Nanus, Amanda Mahy. This is a bright salmon-red-flowering species, which produces a spike of but 12 in. long. It is valuable in that it may be planted early October both in a sheltered position in the open and in small pots for indoor flowering in May. The corms may be grown on entirely in a cold frame. Outdoors it blooms from mid-June and is so useful for bridging the gap between the early Colvillei flowering and the earliest of the summer-flowering gladioli which come into bloom in July. ▪ Nanus, Spitfire. Bears a bloom of rich scarlet with crimson markings." |
