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.

GORGEOUS flowers, but not what was advertised (also not all

"This is my first year growing gladiolus and I'm really enjoying them. The first of the collection to bloom was the Princess Margaret Rose Gladiolus. They were a lovely color, a bit paler than the image, but beautiful and two toned. They had smaller blooms than the other two. The second gladiolus to bloom were a rich orange red color that our local humming birds have loved! The photo doesn't do them justice, they are truly so bright! Last to bloom were some magenta gladiolus. They seem similar to the windsong gladiolus but they don't have yellow interiors and they are much more purple than pink. The reason I gave a lower star review is that the other two types, while absolutely gorgeous, look nothing like advertised and only about half of the plants actually made blooms. The others created leaves, but no flowers. My mom has a thing about not loving red flowers, so she was disappointed when the red ones bloomed. If anyone from American meadows reads this review, could you give me advice on how to get the rest of the gladiolus to bloom next summer? The non bloomers are in the same locations as the bloomers, so I don't think it's based on location."
