Wayside Gardens Gladiolus Blossom Blend Bulbs

Gladiolus are only winter-hardy in USDA zones 7 through 10. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the corms in the fall after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place until spring.

Plant your Gladiolus bulbs 4 inches deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Ensure they are placed in a location that receives full sun to partial shade for the best bloom performance.

Because these plants can reach 60 inches in height, they may require staking, especially if planted in an area exposed to high winds. Providing support early in the season will help keep the heavy flower spikes upright.

Gladiolus are excellent cut flowers because their blooms open sequentially from the bottom to the top of the spike. If you cut the stems when the first few florets begin to open, the arrangement can last for a week or more.

Yes, these are container-friendly. Use a pot that is at least 12 to 15 inches deep with adequate drainage holes to accommodate the 5-foot height and root system of the plants.

This set includes 15 bulbs, featuring a mix of the 'Black Beauty' and 'Bunga' varieties.
