Today's Gladiolus (or simply 'glads' as they are quite often called) are larger and more beautiful than varieties years ago and produce lush sword like foliage. They appreciate the warm weather of summer and are very easy to plant and grow. Gladiolus come in a wide selection of classic colors as well as the newest bi-colors or tri-colors. After the danger of frost has passed, you can plant them all at once, or plant them bi-weekly for continuous flowers throughout summer. They are best planted in groups and make for excellent lavish florist quality cut flowers. This large flowering gladiolus blend is made up of some of the most striking, vivid and sparking bold colors available in the gladiolus family. Great as cut flowers, in beds and/or borders. Easy to grow and care for, no green thumb needed.
