This velvety beauty is so rich and its wine red so deep it looks like you could run the risk of becoming intoxicated if you spend too much time admiring Gladiolus 'Holland Pearl'. It could well be worth the risk, however. So take a chance and linger in this stunning bloom’s company during the mid to late summer flowering season. The butterfly Gladiolus 'Holland Pearl' breaks the spellbinding effect of the rich red with white stamens and the thinnest of white lines drawn occasionally on the petals. It would make a very dramatic addition to any floral arrangement or garden border!
