Peacock Orchid

Beautiful, graceful white flowers that bloom for weeks.

Graceful and easy to grow. Blooms last for weeks.

I've bought Peacock Orchids many times from American Meadows and they are always delightful bloomers. They are easy to plant since the bulbs are small and not planted deeply. The Peacock Orchids begin blooming in late July (just as the surprise lilies are

Beautifully Perks Up the Mid-Summer Garden

I wish I had a better review for you. I was so excited to find these. I followed planting instructions and read about them online as well. The bulbs felt a bit "hollow" to me but I have never held  these before so didn't know what to expect. I now think m

Only one bulb came up

Very uneven growth.  Some bulbs produced strong plants, other bulbs - adjacent to first -- produced small, weak plants.  Will be lucky if 6 of them bloom.  Planted them in four different locations to see what they liked best, but same results.

uneven growth

Tall, slender plants with  beautiful white blooms!

Beautiful as always!

In normal conditions im sure they would be beautiful

Dead after 105° for a whole month in July. ????

I love the difference the Peacock Orchids have made in my front garden. They are popular with my neighbors.  Although 5 feet high they are dainty and whispy and allow other flowers/plants to grow underneath. Very easy to grow in clay soil and hardy though

A winner in my garden

I have purchased these bulbs every year from American meadows for 5 years and successfully grew them in pots outside. This year I ordered 25 corms and only 6 of those bloomed, the rest were duds. Very disappointing as I love them and their fragrance. I'll

I would buy again

Planted in a very fertile spot in bottom land that stays moist. mine grew 4' tall and the scent is wonderful. I will take up 75% after first frost and see if the others survive my 7b planting zone in North Atlanta area.
I love these! Just ordered more.  :

These stole the show in Summer. Very fertile soil w/moisture

Planted these in several places in the yard. Had nice healthy foliage but none have bloomed as the deer keep eating them. Our deer pressure is just so high at this point I have very few options that are actually deer resistant in my area.

The deer have been relentless

This is our 2nd year growing these and we absolutely love them.  (Zone 6b/7a)  I cram the whole bag of bulbs into one large, deep clay pot and by the end of July, we are rewarded with lovely blooms that just keep on flowering.  We will continue buying the

These Peacock Orchids are now going to be on our yearly list

This is a mainstay in my late summer/fall garden. I'm from the northeast so it is not a perennial here so I plant it as an annual. It is striking & captures everyone's attention. It started booming mid-August & is still blooming 5 weeks later. The fragran

A terrific performer!!

I primarily bought these for the sweet scent. I would give 5 stars, but mine are scent-less. I expected them to be 18"-24" high, but mine range between 2.5' - 5.5'.  They started blooming about 2-3 weeks ago and are still blooming. They have a lovely appe

Striking and unusual

Great, elegant, graceful flowers.  Great in flower beds or containers on a terrace.

Yes. I would definitely buy this again!

There are no downsides to these beautiful flowers! So easy to plant…I do soak the bulbs for a bit before planting. 
The blossoms arrive here in Vermont at the end of August when many other flowers are waning. 
I order them every year and receive many comp

Gorgeous Peacock Orchids!

We have it in a garden right by front door and in front of our house and they are strikingly beautiful and have endured lots of heat and some hard rains.

These are beautiful and longlasting. A wonderful addition!

Looks healthy, lots of leaves, but no flowers yet

Growing but not blooming yet

Used as the tall flower feature in a sunny bed.

Beautiful, dainty blooms that smell wonderful.

These beauties are blooming wonderfully. Planted in spring and they're going strong. Low maintenance. Would recommend clustering together as close as possible for effect.

Dainty, pretty little flowers

Lovely graceful

Everyone should grow these lovely little orchid-like flowers. They have a faint scent that I happen to really like. It really comes out inside as cut flowers. Cluster them in groups and they will liven up your August-Sept. garden. They are tender in the n

Fabulous late bloomer

The beauty of spring bulbs in summer! Plant them anywhere. They are the perfect accent for a formal or informal garden.

Stunning mid-summer blooms

Got these as a free gift with a large early summer purchase. Planted in early June and I just dug a small trench and put them in there and covered them with some dirt. Then I did nothing. They got a lot of water runoff from the driveway but I didn't water

Beautiful

as promised, healthy bulbs all came up and are starting to bloom

Starting to bloom

These bulbs grew very well, and I love the delicate white flowers!  We ordered a bunch of different bulbs and these came up the best and bloomed a fairly long time.  I had never heard of them before, so I was anxious to see what I ended up with.  Pleasant

Buying again!

Absolutely stunning.  Every one came up.  Will be buying more next year.  The only issue I have is that the flower doesn't last very long, but it is definitely worth buying

Yowza!!

The beautiful foliage is just as welcome in the garden as the lovely flowers that come from it.

Orchids for your garden

Up to 7 blossoms per stem; light fragrence; very showey.

Gorgeous when planted in groups of 12 or more

I have planted these 3 previous times and did not enjoy the success I had this time. The bulbs produced shoots 3 feet high and blooms were consistent for over a month. Granted, they are planted inside a brick planterbox in front by our south-facing door. 

Huge success

I love these plants. They bloom in early August in VT and smell delicious. They need to be lifted here in VT, so this year, on advice from a friend, I planted them in containers and plan on bring the pots into the garage for the winter.

One of my favorites

These were in my flower pots on my deck. They smelled amazing.  I slid out the faded blooms and it helped them continue to get taller and bloom all summer. Great purchase.

Amazing in Containers

I have tried growing tese before and rarely even had life (usually as freebies from oter companies).  I was stunned at the height, prolific blooms, longlasting displayt.  WELL worth the having to raise and store them over winter!

Showstopper!

I planted these in 2 different parts of my garden. I only got blooms from a few, because rabbits ate so much of the greenery. Next time I think I would plant them in pots so I could elevate them and save them from rampant lagomorphs. They are very pretty 

Lovely, but rabbits think so too

I bought these and planted them along the sidewalk going up to our front door.  Everyone who stopped over last year said how jealous they were - and i've ordered more!
I crossing my fingers they might come back this year, but Wisconsin had a semi-hard win

Love these!

Got as tall as my regular gladiolas, which surprised me, and had a longer blooming time than expected.

Awesome

These have a lovely form: 3-4' high green stalks with their nodding white blooms with deep purple in the center. Perfect for late bloom.

Fantastic

It's not a very practical flower for the rocky shores of the northeast coast- besides needing to be kept in moist soil the tubers need to be taken out over the winter - but treated as an annual they bloom through August and look spectacular .

Stunningly beautiful but very thirsty

The flowers are quite gorgeous and bloom for a while. They really grab your attention. Not quite as fragrant as I would have liked, but not a problem since they are so beautiful. Easy -- just plant the bulbs and they do the rest.

Eye-Catching Flowers!

These flowers are so unusual for a gladioli. Quite elegant and unlike anything I have ever grown.

This flower is delicate and beautiful

Grows and blooms quickly. I use them around taller plants that will bloom later in the season.

Really Attractive

I have these planted in a container on a hot, fifteenth-floor rooftop. They are performing splendidly. They are fragrant all day and night (unlike most summer-blooming white flowers), sturdy, beautiful. I may have to exercise some caution when winter come

Magnificent, fragrant flowers

Loved the long slender foliage. It added grace to the garden followed by the not so common blooms.  Received many comments about the flower.

Great addition to garden

These grew very well in a spot where Dutchman's Pipe roots probably sap a lot of water and nutrients. They got direct sun about half the day. The flowers really are like the pictures, and they bloomed into September here in lower Michigan. I think there w

Grew well, nice flowers, stayed blooming

Still in bloom now (October)! These are beautiful, but I didn't realize how tall they'd be.  Make sure you put them towards the back of your garden.  I will be moving them next year.

tall beauties

Nice in planters with the Dahlias, but should have grouped them closer for full effect.  Sweet, delicate smell.

Lovely

I ordered the peacock orchids based upon customer reviews and I was not disappointed. These looked exactly like the picture and they really drew interest to my flower garden. They bloomed for about 8-12 weeks and I must have looked at them every single da

Great show

Very tall and Showy.  I used these as container bulbs and they came out really spectacular!  Tall and showy mixed with caladiums and other bulbs.  This was a winner.  Will be ordering more of these next year...for sure....

Peacock Orchid Blubs

Very pretty flower with many blooms per plant.  Only drawback is that the flowers don't last very long.

Pretty flower

I planted these flowers in a simple corner garden. They flourished and the flowers looked like white origami birds floating on the summer air. I can't say a bad word about them, Easy to grow and care for - they take very little work, just water, throw som

Makes a simple garden more showy!

Everyone loves these flowers. Since we are in a zone that does not allow them to come back year after year we need to replant them every spring.  We are always looking forward in the fall for these flowers to bloom.

I will buy this product again and again

I planted all 25 bulbs in a group along the walk in my back yard.  This really showed off the delicate beauty of these plants.

Wow!

I think only about half my bulbs came up, but I was rather remiss about watering for a while and we had a cold late start to summer.
The ones that did bloom, however, made it all worth it! These were delicate and exotic looking, helping bridge the gap bet

Beautiful and Elegant

I grew these in a large pot on my porch and when I would sit out there and read, I was surrounded by the most heavenly fragrance!  You don't have to stick your face into the blooms to smell them either; they're so fragrant, they permiate the air.  Wonderf

Truly Outstanding!

Fantastic, but overlooked annual

i am very happy with all of the products i have ordered

Gorgeous Flowers!

I love the delicate flowers on the long stems of this plant.  I also appreciate that they have a long bloom time.

easy grower

I love these flowers!  I spaced them all around the back area (because they are a little taller) of my gardens in the front and side of my house.  They started growing really soon and bloomed in a few short weeks!  They are absolutely beautiful and add a 

Beautiful and easy!

Planted them for the 1st time this year. My patio pots were average until the peacocks bloomed, now I have an exotic arrangement in my backyard no one else has in the neighborhood.

"Exotic Showcase"

Joy of viewing beautiful orchid like blooms along my walk.

a buy againer

No matter where I plant my acidantheras, they perform beautifully. They are not hardy in my area, but replanting every year is a small price to pay for their beauty and heady fragrance. They are beautiful in the garden--and make perfect cut flowers. It am

Sure to become a favorite

I planted these near the back of a bed.  The greenery is tall and nice looking.  When the flowers bloomed they were gorgeous and long-lasting.  They required no care whatsoever beyond planting.

Stunning beauty!

This is one of my favorite plants. The flowers are absolutely beautiful and the fragrance is breathtaking! I have recommended this to many of my fellow gardeners. A wonderful addition to any garden.

Fabulous Flowers and Fragrance

Last year I used these flowers in pots outside my bedroom window on a deck where they thrived and  were enchanting. This year I would like to put lots of them in the garden in my new home right at the front door.

Sorry I didn't plant more!

We plant these in a circle at the end of our white garden.  When the Casa Blancas wain, these come along and waft the air again.

Prolific and Fragrant

Easy to plant and bloomed within weeks of planting!  I enjoyed them briefly until the deer ate every last one.

Easy and Stunning!

Terrific addition to the garden -- whether in the ground or a patio container. Lovely flowers held over green swords, mild but delightful fragrance. Like most glads, it's not really hardy here (Zone 7), but easy peasy to lift and store.

Wonderful mid-summer surprise

I love glads and orchids.  I can't wait for these to come up.

Glads and Orchids: I can't wait

I ordered these last year as I was making additions to my current flower gardens.  What an amazing addition to it.  They fit perfectly as a liner for my steps leading to my porch.  I have had several neighbors ask where I got them and how I got those colo

Gardening made easy

This is the first time I have grown this item. I planted 3 batches in a part sun area. They bloomed, ALL of them (yes, I counted them) near the mid-end of my northern Wisconsin summer. They are LONG blooming, EXTREMELY fragrant and very exotic looking. Wh

Fragrant and Exotic, in the far north

This elegant beauty looks like an orchid but with the ease of a bulb.  It looks great in your garden or in a cut flower arrangement and very classy in a bud vase.

A surprisingly easy beauty

Grew them for the first time last year in a pot in my patio just to see what they would do.  They grew and bloomed.  It took me a few days to figure out where the fabulous perfume was coming from whenever I walked into my patio -- I had planted only a few
