An old-time favorite, gladioli are usually grown for elegant flower arrangements. They come in a rainbow of colors, and their long stems mean you can grow armloads of flowers in a small space. Gladioli make great cut flowers. They are also key elements in a shrub border and amongst perennials. One of the best flowers for arrangements, lasting a week or more in the vase.
Planting instructions: Stake for best appearance and straightest stems. Plant at biweekly intervals for continuous color. Space plants 5" apart. Plant height 2-4’ tall. Dig a hole 4-6" deep. Place corm in hole, pointed side up. Cover with soil and water thoroughly.
