Gladiolus 'Green Star' bears tall spikes of lime-green flowers. It's the perfect foil for more brightly coloured blooms – both in the border and the vase.

Grow Gladiolus 'Green Star' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Not fully hardy, it's best to lift the corms to overwinter indoors, or apply a thick mulch. Divide congested clumps in autumn.
