Know before you buy
Each package contains 15 corms, which is enough to create a substantial display in a garden bed or several large containers.
Yes, these gladioli are container-friendly. Because they reach a height of 3 to 4 feet, ensure you use a sturdy, heavy pot to prevent them from tipping over as they grow.
These plants thrive in full sun and require well-draining soil. Plant the corms 6 inches deep in the spring once the danger of frost has passed.
Absolutely. They are excellent cut flowers that can last over a week in a vase, making them a great choice for bringing the garden's beauty indoors.
Gladiolus are hardy in zones 3 through 11, but they are generally treated as annuals in colder climates. If you live in an area with freezing winters, you should dig up the corms in the fall and store them in a cool, dry place until spring.
Given their mature height of 36 to 48 inches, these gladioli may benefit from staking, especially if you live in a windy area. Providing support helps keep the tall, elegant stems upright and prevents them from bending or breaking.
