The garden gladiolus is an ornamental plant of Mexican origin that became popular in Europe in the 19th century for its bright colors and long flowering period. It is characterized by large flowers and straight, sturdy stems.
In manor gardens, it is grown in representative summer flower beds and decorative beds.
They were very popular in rural homesteads due to their heat resistance and abundant flowering until frost. They were also often used in bouquets.
In urban flower gardens, they are highly valued for their bright colors and ability to remain decorative for a long time.
Today, garden gladiolus remains one of the most popular annual summer flowers.
