Gloriosa Carsonii
M6245
Description
‘Gloriosa’ by name and glorious by nature, this spectacular climber scrambles eagerly up any support, gripping with curled, leaf-tip tendrils, and embellished by remarkable blooms in high summer.
The wavy-edged petals of ‘Carsonii’ are a velvety, purple maroon, lined by a flash of bright yellow. These elongated petals rocket upwards, leaving the stamens displayed prominently beneath. Gloriosa is wonderful for clambering up a trellis in a sunny position, and for adding a touch of exotic flair to a glasshouse or conservatory.
These bulbs are best planted in a container, so they can easily be moved indoors to protect from winter frosts.
