Our Parrot Gladiolus Mix is a warm and coloful blend of unique blooms with contrasting petal edges and throats. Plant these in the cutting garden for mix and match bouquets, or trickle them through non-summer-blooming gardens so they can borrow a foliage-only backdrop for their big summer show. Annuals for most, but easily lifted and stored. (Gladiolus)

Description

The elegant orchid-like floret of the gladiolus lends itself beautifully to carrying more than one color...often even three or more. Contrast edging, blended shades, and of course, a brilliant other-colored throat are the hallmarks of the multi-colored glads. This mix includes a huge range...all multi-colored, and all very beautiful. Imagine the garden abloom with this rainbow! Imagine the arrangements!

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.
