This showy and vibrant flower flirts with bright deep pink petals which burst out of a bright yellow throat. As groups of the many buds on each spire open simultaneously you will be given a real show of color in the garden border during summer. Plant Gladiolus 'Far West' in groups and you’ll get an even bigger showing. And you can extend the flowering period, too. Just plant the corms at intervals of two weeks so that new plants keep coming up!
