Description


Gladiolus... First introduced to England from Turkey in 1620 by John Tradescant, Sr., the gardener to King Charles I, gladiolas were immediately popular in formal and cottage gardens. Many new species were developed in the 18th century and in 1807, when the first known hybrid was produced, gladiolas were in particular demand. It was a favorite in Victorian and Edwardian gardens and in the Victorian Language of Flowers, the gladiola represents strength of character. The name Gladiolus is from the Latin gladius, meaning "small sword," which describes the shape of the foliage.
