Description

Hardy Gladiolus have the charm, hardiness, and compact size needed to earn a place in any sunny garden. The sword-like foliage will emerge first, creating low vertical accents in the spring garden, followed by tall flowering spikes with 6-8 blossoms in summer that open slowly from the bottom up. Planting denser groups of Hardy Gladiolus makes a stronger impact than dotting individual corms around the garden. Plant in average to sandy, well-drained soils. In containers, consider pairing with a low-growing filler to enhance the effect of those beautiful spikes. Perennial in zones 5-8; in colder zones, they can be grown as annuals, or brought inside and stored for the winter. (Planting in the right conditions and with a good layer of insulating mulch may extend their hardiness in zones 4-7, but it’s not guaranteed.)

Our Little Rugged Gladiolus Collection covers roughly 6 sq ft, and includes 75 corms (bulbs):

1 x Bag of 25 'Elvira' Hardy Gladiolus
1 x Bag of 25 'Albus' Hardy Gladiolus
1 x Bag of 25 'Vulcano' Hardy Gladiolus
