Gladiolus byzantinus is characterized by striking deep magenta flowers, each displaying a contrasting narrow cream midrib on its lower three petals. The blossoms are supported on tall, unbranched stems that reach heights of 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm), flowering from mid-April. Its robust growth in a variety of soil conditions, including heavy clay, and the ability of its foliage to withstand frost, make it a resilient choice for gardens. The cormels, when left in place, help the plant to gradually form expanding clumps.
