Just when you think you have seen all the colors, Smokey Gladiolus comes a long and changes the game once again! In the softest, smokiest shade of grayish-mauve, watch in delight as this variety develops deeper hues of the same shades as it matures. Gladiolus has always been a garden and floral mainstay, but have become a bit stale in the regular, pastel rainbow of colors that we have always known. Gladiolus Smokey has given this species the long-awaited jolt that it has needed to bring it back to the mainstage!

Wow! These are nice. the blooms are lavender/mauve with white centers. They bloomed earlier than my other glads. Very tall. Having never grown this variety before I wasn't sure what to expect with the color, but I'm happy with them.
Linda 5/5 Verified
It looks like a whole batch of these were swapped. Mine are the same bright pink as the other unhappy customers. I really loved the color of the Smokey purple and am very disappointed to have spent so much and waited so long for just pink.

Disappointing tropical hot pink. Not what I wanted and definitely throwing my color palette off!! I see others had the same issue. Maybe bulbs were mislabeled?

Had a great bloom rate but the flowers were bright magenta pink rather than the smokey pink.

Joining the chorus of folks who had the wrong color appear in their gardens (it was very helpful to see these reviews and know I wasn't alone in this because at first I was worried about my eyes and my memory!) These are a bright tropical pink. I planted these Apr 25th. The bulbs were happy, grew strong stems, and the blooms which just began to open around Jul 18th are lovely -- just not a color I would have chosen for my garden.

Susan 5/5
I ordered these to put in a memorial garden I've been working on. I've ordered them twice now once last year and another time this spring. Last year's is the correct color but this year's it hot pink. I'm going to have to remove all the plants now due to them being the incorrect color.

I was really excited about the color of this one in my pastel front bed. Planted them when received and starting sprouting within 2 weeks. Unfortunately the color is nothing close to a smoky mauve but more of a hot pink which throws off the whole bed color scheme. Disappointed it’s not true to form.

I bought the smokey gladiolus and pink haze mix. But somehow they have all bloomed yhe same orange. They're lovely but not at all what I ordered. So now I'll have to dig them up and move them once they're done this year.

I, like another reviewer, ordered smokey and got red instead. Glad I wasn't planning on an event to use them in.

Beautiful and easy to grow. I planed over 20 of these last spring and they performed wonderfully. The color adds a romantic charm. They are already popping up again this year for their next showing.

Planted the bulbs in mid-spring. They all grew and are finally blooming. Absolutely beautiful.
