Description

Enjoy a showcase of summer color with our Limited Edition Great Gladiolus Collection to enhance your established garden, or for a head start on a new garden. Gladiolus are easy-to-grow , deer resistant, and rabbit resistant flower bulbs that bloom in a rainbow of hues, from soft pastels to rich vivid hues. Gladiolus are perennial in zones 8-11; these tender bulbs are considered annuals in all cooler USDA zones, or they can be lifted and stored in a cool, dry, dark place to re-plant for the following year.

Our Limited Edition Great Gladiolus Collection includes 60 bulbs, covering roughly 15 sq. ft. when planted together:

'Nori' Gladiolus - Bag of 15 bulbs
Olympic Flame' Gladiolus - Bag of 15 bulbs
'Princess Margaret Rose' Gladiolus - Bag of 15 bulbs
'Milka' Gladiolus - Bag of 15 bulbs

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.
