Exquisite blooms!
"The blooms on these glads were beyond what I was expecting. I have never seen one like it. I love them so much that I am ordering more!"
(22-28” tall x 8” wide) ‘Vulcano’ Nanus Gladiolus prefers a sunny site where each flowering spike can live up to its full potential, slowly unfolding from the bottom of the spike upwards and giving weeks of color to containers and garden beds. Gladioli in the Nanus group are smaller, more delicate forms of this traditional garden favorite, and therefore allow the gardener to forget about staking and just enjoy the strong, slender spikes of color. As blossoms fade, you can nip them off with your fingers and keep the flowering stem looking fresh and beautiful. Plant Gladiolus Nanus ‘Vulcano’ in a sunny site in well-drained, loose soil with average fertility. Many gladioli in the Nanus group are hardier, but deeper planting up to 6” encourages overwintering – another bonus for hard-working gardeners in colder zones. Otherwise, lift and store them in a dry, cool, dark space over the winter months.

"The blooms on these glads were beyond what I was expecting. I have never seen one like it. I love them so much that I am ordering more!"
"I planted these in a border that gets several hours of sun. All but one came up, but growth was slow. Only a few bloomed, and the flower stems all flopped over and drooped; there were no upright stems. The flowers all needed to be staked up. The flower color was much more pink than I'd expected from photos, and the foliage was more of a blue-green. The location I put them in may have been too dry, though I watered them regularly. The leaves have died off already. Other Gladiolus bulbs I planted beside them are doing well and looking healthy. So, I'm not sure about these, but I want to give them another chance. I'm planning to try them in another location, maybe even a pot - provided the bulbs are still alive when I dig them up soon. The problem I normally have in my garden is that plants grow too well, so this was a rare disappointment. I'm hoping I'll get the chance to amend this review with more positive results next year."
"Short-lived wonders! Plant a few each week for about 3-5 weeks to extend bloom time. Planted with orange cosmos and Victoria Sage . . . STUNNING."
"First time planting gladiolus, and they are just spectacular! These started blooming end of June after I got them in the ground the end of April, and I was so impressed with their color and beauty. Glad these are hardy and hopefully will come up again next year. Really beautiful as cut flowers for the table."
"These are a lovely color. Not as big or sturdy as regular gladiolas, but I love the color and shape of them. I am hoping they will come back more next year. Would be good with several planted together."
