American Meadows Dynamite Gladiolus

These gladiolus reach an impressive height of 36 to 60 inches. Because they grow quite tall, it is often helpful to stake them or plant them in a sheltered area to prevent them from leaning or falling over during heavy winds.

Dynamite Gladiolus are perennial in USDA zones 3-10, but they are not winter-hardy in colder climates. If you live in a region with freezing winters, you should dig up the corms in the fall and store them in a cool, dry place until spring.

No, these are considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, they are generally not a preferred snack for local wildlife.

For the best results, plant them in a location that receives full sun and has well-drained, loamy, or sandy soil. They prefer average soil moisture and should be planted 8 inches deep.

No, Dynamite Gladiolus are toxic to pets. They can cause skin irritation upon contact and are poisonous if ingested, so it is best to plant them in an area your animals cannot access.

We recommend a spacing of four bulbs per square foot. This density ensures a lush, dramatic vertical display while still providing enough room for each plant to thrive.
