Description

‘Vista’ Gladiolus is a true showstopper featuring bold hues of violet, lavender, and burgundy splashed across each petal. Gladioli are available in a broad range of colors, from pastels to vivid jewel tones. Bulbs are planted in spring for summer blooms that last until frost. This means Gladioli are great for filling in your established perennial garden. Tall elegant flower spikes emerge from sword-like foliage, with blooms unfurling from the bottom of the stem to the top. This habit makes Glads an excellent cut flower.

Planting & Care

Growing Gladiolus: Everyone knows gladiolus, but not every gardener knows how easy they are to grow. The original "glad" was a wildflower from South Africa called "sword lily", which was imported into Europe in the 1840's. As with almost every other bulb, the Dutch went to work and created a grand rainbow from a quite lowly flower.

Put them close together so you'll end up with a mass of color, not just a stick here and there. One of the things that makes growing gladiolus so easy is that the plants take up almost no space. You can easily pop in the bulbs between other more permanent plants. Just find  the spaces in your garden, put in the bulbs in.

And everyone knows gladiolus are great in a vase. So be sure to plant plenty where you can cut them. They're inexpensive, and few other flowers give you so much color for the cost. When frost threatens, you can just forget them, and buy new ones in spring, or dig up the bulbs and store them until the following spring. Don't hesitate. Enjoy gladiolus this summer. You can't have too many.
