Gladiolus PROFESSOR ALEXANDER GENKEL

Gladiolus variety «Professor Alexander Genkel» is a new achievement developed by scientists of the Perm State National Research University. This variety is named after the founder of the university and features a bright pink-purple flower with a white spot and streaks, giving it a unique and expressive appearance. The flower petals have a dense texture and a slightly ruffled structure, which emphasizes the majesty of the inflorescence.

Plants reach a height of 150 to 175 cm, and the inflorescence length is 55–60 cm, including 20 to 23 flowers. As the flower fades, its color changes to a darker shade, adding decorativeness and continuing to attract attention. The variety is distinguished not only by its bright and saturated coloring but also by its large size, making it attractive for growing for decorative purposes.

The breeding process took about eight years, and from crossing to the first flowering it takes 5–7 years, indicating careful breeding work. Planting material of the variety is sent to botanical gardens for further cultivation and study, confirming its scientific and practical value. This gladiolus will become a wonderful decoration of gardens and flower beds, thanks to its beauty and unique characteristics.
