Park Seed Gladiolus Sunrise Blend

These gladiolus are quite dramatic, reaching a mature height of up to 60 inches. Because of their height, they may need staking if planted in an area exposed to strong winds.

Yes, they thrive in containers as long as the pot is deep enough to accommodate their root system and provides excellent drainage. Ensure you use a sturdy pot that won't tip over once the tall flower spikes emerge.

Gladiolus are tender perennials and are only winter-hardy in USDA zones 7-10. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the corms in the fall and store them indoors over the winter.

For the best display, plant the bulbs about 5 inches apart and 5 inches deep. This spacing allows enough room for the foliage to develop while creating a dense, impactful look when they bloom.

Yes, the vibrant colors and tall spikes are particularly attractive to hummingbirds. They are a great choice if you want to bring more bird activity to your garden.

You can enjoy these blooms from early summer through late summer. To extend the season, you can try succession planting—planting a new batch of bulbs every two weeks—to ensure continuous color.
