Acidanthera Gladiolus Callianthus is scented
Acidanthera Gladiolus Callianthus
Acidanthera Gladiolus Callianthus Acidanthera Gladiolus Callianthus Acidanthera in pot

This lovely scented member of the Gladiolus family, also known as Acidanthera Murielae is a great staple flower for your garden beds or patio pots with its vanilla perfume and structured flowers. It's also ideal as cut flower as it lasts so long in a vase.

Acidanthera Gladiolus Callianthus is also known as the Sword Lily or Peacock Lily

Harts' Hint
"Acidanthera are safest grown in pots. Bring the pots indoors for the winter and move back outside in the Spring once the risk of frost has passed. If potted, they make wonderful Autumn houseplants too."

 

  • Position your corms in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, moist soil.
  • Plant your corms 10-16cm (4-6") deep.
  • Space your corms 10cm (4") apart. 
  • If planting in pots, we advise: 
    • 7 to 10 bulbs for a 20cm pot
    • 13 to 15 bulbs for 30cm pot
    • 20 to 25 bulbs for a 50cm pot.
  • Plant in pots or directly in the garden. 
  • See 'Care Instructions' for protecting over the winter months.
