Gladiolus "Rosy Cheeks" is an elegant and decorative variety with rounded petals, featuring a pearl-pearlescent background with white-pink iridescence that intensifies towards the center of the flower. Pink tones seem to flow towards the throat, while velvety pink-red spots are located on the lower petals, transitioning into an elegant mesh resembling a brushstroke pattern. The edges of the lower petals have a lighter coloring, which adds additional expressiveness and depth to the flower.
Gladiolus flowers are large, measuring from 11 to 14 cm, with a strongly ruffled, wavy, and sturdy fabric texture. The double-row inflorescence of medium density contains up to 22 buds, from which about 9 flowers bloom simultaneously. The plant's stem is sturdy, ensuring stability and maintaining decorativeness during flowering. The corm is white-cream colored and measures 3.5-4.5 cm.
This variety belongs to the Lily family and was bred by author Gromov in 1988. The flowering period after planting is average, allowing for enjoyment of the flower's beauty over a prolonged period. "Rosy Cheeks" are excellent for decorating gardens and flowerbeds, attracting attention with their exquisite coloring and shape.
