Gladiolus nanus 'Atom' is a compact, hardy gladiolus cultivar reaching only 18 to 24 inches tall. Part of the Iridaceae family, it produces spikes of deep red flowers with a distinctive white throat in early summer.
Unlike taller gladiolus, 'Atom' doesn't require staking and is more cold-tolerant (USDA zones 5-9). Plant corms in spring in full sun and well-drained soil. Excellent for borders, rock gardens, or containers. The dwarf habit makes it a versatile choice for smaller gardens.
