Gladioli 'Traderhorn'

Gladioli Traderhorn, also known as Sword Lily, brings a bold sweep of colour to the summer garden with its tall spires of bright red blooms, lifted by a soft, glowing white accent on the lower petals. The rich, vibrant tones stand out beautifully among the sword-shaped green foliage, adding height, movement, and a dramatic focal point to borders and beds. This striking variety blends effortlessly with both vivid and softer planting schemes, bringing warmth and energy to any outdoor space.

Planting and growing Traderhorn is wonderfully simple. Set the corms into well drained soil in a sunny, sheltered spot, placing them in small groups so the stems can rise upright and steady. Water regularly as the shoots begin to appear, keeping the soil lightly moist, and offer a gentle feed as the flower spikes develop. As summer unfolds, these vivid red blooms sway softly in the breeze, bringing depth, brightness, and a sense of effortless drama to the garden. With just a little care, this radiant Sword Lily returns each year to add colour, height, and a bold, confident presence to your borders.
