What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Gladiolus Apricot Bubblegum for its stunning, unique coloration, noting the blooms perfectly match the advertised soft apricot and creamy peach tones. A key highlight is the exceptional quality of the bulbs; reviewers report near perfect sprouting success and robust, healthy growth, building strong confidence in the product. This reliable performance makes the variety a worthwhile investment for a distinctive garden addition. A minor consideration is that the heavy bloom heads often require staking for support as the plants mature. Overall, the aesthetic value and dependable growth define the positive customer experience.
Know before you buy
Each order includes a collection of 10 Gladiolus bulbs.
Given their height of 42 to 60 inches, these tall stems may benefit from staking, especially in areas prone to high winds or heavy rain, to keep them upright and protected.
While they thrive in garden beds, you can grow them in large containers provided the pots are deep enough to accommodate the 5-6 inch planting depth and have excellent drainage.
These bulbs require a location with full sun to bloom reliably. Maintain a moderate watering schedule, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season.
These Gladiolus are hardy in zones 8 through 10. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to lift and store the bulbs indoors during the winter months to protect them from freezing temperatures.
For optimal growth and air circulation, space each bulb 5 to 6 inches apart. This spacing allows the plants to develop their signature tall, ruffled stems without overcrowding.
