Add a touch of drama and warmth to your summer border with the breathtaking Gladiolus “Rusty Chestnut”. This variety is an absolute favourite among lovers of unusual colours; its deep, rust-brown and chestnut-like hues are a rare sight in the floral world. 

The “Rusty Chestnut” stands out for its velvety petals in a rich mix of terracotta, copper and deep chestnut brown. As the flower opens further, it reveals subtle nuances reminiscent of the warm glow of a setting sun. It is the perfect choice for those who want something different from the standard bright summer colours. 

Thanks to its unique, earthy colour, “Rusty Chestnut” is highly sought after for modern bouquets and floral arrangements. In the garden, this gladiolus combines beautifully with ornamental grasses, deep yellow sunflowers or contrasting purple perennials. Its sturdy stems ensure that it stands tall even in a summer shower.
