'Sabu' is a dwarf gladiolus with striking red flowers thoughout summer. It is ideal for the hot border or cut-flower displays. It is too tender to be left outdoors all year round in the UK so the corms must be lifted each autumn to be overwintered indoors.

Looks good with:
Helianthus annus 'Irish Eyes'
Crocosmia 'Tangerine Queen'
