I know species glad was fragrant but without large and fancy flowers which are present in modern hybird. Still i wonder not even a single fragrant glad i have seen in lahore. Check out this link http://www.zone10.com/gladiolus-for-fragrance.html anybody tried the fragrant ones?
I can get fragrant glad seeds, can it be grown from seeds?

Re: Fragrant gladiolus
I d not want to try it from seed as I cannot wait for 3 years to see what glad smells like.You are also impatient if I am not wrong.
