King’s Gold Gladiolus is a stunning addition to garden beds, borders and vases with heavily ruffled, large golden flowers on tall, 3’ spikes. Showier than many glads, it’s not unusual to see ten gloriously ruffled blossoms open at once. Excellent cut flower. Full sun. Rich, well-draining soil. (Gladiolus)
(36-48” tall x 10” wide) King’s Gold Gladiolus sports ruffled golden flowers and tall vertical accents to create a stunning fit-for-a-king focal point in your garden during the summer months. Individual deeply-throated yellow blooms open from the bottom of the flowering spike upwards in mid-summer and are surrounded by green, sword-shaped foliage. The overall look is one of abundance and adds strong vertical lines to a garden design. King’s Gold Gladiolus can have up to ten blossoms open at once, making those tall accents perfect cut flowers for your more dramatic arrangements. ‘King’s Gold,’ like all glads, prefers that its corms to be planted into rich, well-draining soil that is moisture retentive. Shelter from high winds is also advisable to protect the heavy flower spikes (inflorescences) from flopping. In cooler climates (zones 3-7), the corms can be lifted when the foliage browns in autumn, and stored in a cool, frost-free location for more gold next summer!
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.

"This variety has excelled during a deep drought year when I am unable to provide much water to the flower garden and even rallied after the first leaves were eaten by a woodchuck. All the corms produced, some with double stalks of large, beautiful yellow flowers with pink streaks and freckles in the throat. These are gorgeous in the garden and cut for inside."
