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)
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.

"I put these in this year with fond memories of them bein one of my mom's favorite flowers, I remember why now they really are beautiful. Planted along the back border they sent their late summer flower stalks out over the main flower bed and put on a nice show without shadig the plant underneath too much. Interesting side note although the package said "Parrot Mix" mine all bloomed with a "peach" or "peace rose" color, one of my favorite flower colors so I guess I lucked out."
— The H. (5/5)
Awesome but not a mix
"The fact that all but one of the bulbs were the same color was a significant disappointment as I already had a bunch which had a different same color, I was looking for a rainbow effect. Bulbs were all very good quality, and have grown beautifully."
— Jeff (4/5)
I enjoy the Glads.
"Enjoying the colors in the borders of yard"

These gladiolus are absolutely beautiful
"I am a first time gardener and these were si. ple to grow and so pretty. Will definitely be purchasing more."
— Jo (5/5)
Great colorss
"These flowers were great, not as good as the Nori Gladiolus but great. After my learning curve this year I'll do a better job."
— Harry (5/5)
Only 1 bloomed
"Only one bloomed into flowers, and it was gloriously beautiful. The rest had leaves, but no flowers. It may have been my soil, the weather, the way I planted the bulbs, what I planted them next to. . . I don't know."
— JoAnn. (3/5)
Not all of the bulbs came up.
"All my plantings this past year went into fresh Ortho soil and yet I was not very lucky with the outcome of my new plantings. My old bulbs all came up but I did not see many of my new gladiolas bloom."
— Claudia B. (3/5)
Some were beautiful, some were disappointing
"Some of the gladiolus bulbs in this mix were beautiful, but others were disappointing. I was also disappointed in the lack of variety. All 15 bulbs came up, but a third of them were the same color. The package that I received only had three different color varieties -- one of them was gorgeous, the other two varieties had very small flowers and not-so-pretty colors. Also, none of mine looked like any of the flowers in the product photo."
— Sarowen (3/5)
Beautiful!
"I will buy more for my garden when they become available. Although I am not a big fan of gladiolus, these are particularly lovely in my garden."

Lovely mix of color
"Use as outside edging"
