Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fragrance in glads is as rare as hen's teeth. Although a few wild ones have it, breeding it into modern glads has proved difficult. In fact, 'Lucky Star' was the only fragrant seedling to come from many years of crosses made by New Zealander Joan Wright using garden glads and the even more fragrant Abyssinian glad. Its bold, angular good looks are a bonus, and night-flying hawk moths love it.
