Just when you think you have seen all the colors, Smokey Gladiolus comes a long and changes the game once again! In the softest, smokiest shade of grayish-mauve, watch in delight as this variety develops deeper hues of the same shades as it matures. Gladiolus has always been a garden and floral mainstay, but have become a bit stale in the regular, pastel rainbow of colors that we have always known. Gladiolus Smokey has given this species the long-awaited jolt that it has needed to bring it back to the mainstage!
