Gladiolus, also known as the “Sword Lily,” means “Heroism.”

It represents those who are sociable and spontaneous, but lead with their heart and strong character. They are loyal, sociable, imaginative, and talkative. Their passionate and altruistic nature drives them to do good in the world and lead the way for others to do the same.

However, they can often be overly idealistic in their plans, and suffer from people-pleasing tendencies.
