Gladiolus — Red Matador | 10 Bulbs

Fierce, passionate, and commanding — the Gladiolus Red Matador is a sword lily that enters the garden like a champion. Its blooms are a vivid, bright red that demands attention and dominates any border or arrangement with the bold confidence its name implies. Named after the fearless matador of the arena, this is a gladiolus for gardeners who want maximum impact and unapologetic colour in their summer garden.

Like all gladioli, Red Matador grows from rounded, symmetrical corms and produces tall, elegant flower spikes that are as spectacular in the vase as they are in the border. Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, it rewards consistent watering with a generous succession of striking red blooms from November through to February — making it a bold and high-impact choice for summer displays, mixed borders, and dramatic floral arrangements.
