Gladiolus 'Nymph' is a Nanus gladiolus, flowering in early summer. It produces two or three flower stems per corm. The flowers are white, with attractive diamond-shaped cerise-pink markings on some of the petals. Smaller than many other cultivars, this gladiolus looks equally at home in the border or in a large container.
