Gladiolus - Giant - Mixed Colors
The Gladiolus Mixed, 'Gladiolus mixed', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent mixed colored flowers on short stalks. These early summer flowering Glads are strikingly marked with patterns and colors. The multiple glad-like flowers are on stems that hold 10 to 14 flowers. They make striking accents in a mixed border and as cut flowers. Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil.
