Gladiolus Black Sea
Gladiolus Black Sea
Nearly black, deep maroon blooms sport a delicate, white stripe down the center petal, displaying a breathtaking blend of outstanding color and unique style. On occasion a touch of pinkish purple can be seen. Black Sea looks great as part of a mixed cutting bed or as a standalone feature planting in a central locale. The velvety flowers bloom from the bottom up, giving glads a long-lasting nature, as well as a sophisticated look. Pollinators of all kinds love the color and open blooms.
