Gladiolus — Black Star / Maroon | 10 Bulbs

Dark, dramatic, and utterly captivating — the Gladiolus Black Star is a sword lily of extraordinary depth and intensity. Its blooms range from a deep, near-black through to rich, velvety maroon — a brooding, sophisticated palette that brings a bold, high-contrast drama to any garden border or cut flower arrangement. For gardeners who love the dark side of the colour spectrum, Black Star is the standout choice of the summer season.

Like all gladioli, Black Star grows from rounded, symmetrical corms and produces tall, elegant flower spikes that are as striking 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 its distinctive dark blooms from November through to February — making it a bold and unforgettable addition to any South African summer garden.
