American Meadows Parrot Gladiolus Mix

Parrot Gladiolus generally reach heights between 3 and 4 feet. Because of their height and the weight of their large, ruffled blooms, they often benefit from staking to keep them upright during summer storms.

Gladiolus are tender perennials. In warmer climates (USDA zones 8-10), they can often be left in the ground year-round. In colder regions, you will need to dig up the corms in the fall after the first frost and store them indoors for the winter to replant in the spring.

Plant your bulbs in the spring once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. For a continuous display of color throughout the summer, you can stagger your planting by putting a few bulbs in the ground every two weeks.

Yes, for the best performance and strongest stems, these gladiolus need a location that receives full sun, which is at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

This collection includes 15 bulbs, which is a great quantity for creating a dense, colorful cluster in a garden bed or filling a few large vases for indoor arrangements.
