Park Seed Parrot Mix Gladiolus

These bulbs are hardy in zones 8-10. If you live in a cooler region, you will need to lift the bulbs from the ground in the fall and store them indoors to protect them from freezing temperatures before replanting in the spring.

Each plant reaches a mature width of about 9 inches. Because they grow quite tall—up to 60 inches—ensure they are planted in a spot where they won't be shaded by other plants and consider staking them if your garden is in a particularly windy area.

Parrot Mix Gladiolus are quite adaptable and tolerate normal, loamy, or sandy soil types. The most critical requirement is that the soil drains well, as bulbs can rot if left in standing water.

Yes, their long, elegant stems make them excellent cut flowers. For the longest vase life, cut the stems when the bottom one or two florets begin to open.

Yes, the vibrant, ruffled blooms are highly attractive to pollinators. Their height and bright colors make them a reliable focal point for drawing hummingbirds and butterflies into your garden.

Each pack contains 10 bulbs, which is enough to create a substantial cluster or a nice row of color in a border.
