Gladioli are tough, economical, reliable corms that can be planted in all climates. The tall flower spikes provide vertical accents in gardens, blooming in spring in warm climates and in summer in cool regions. Plant in drifts or clumps of 5-7 corms in borders and beds, cottage gardens or en masse. An excellent cut flower picked when the first bud on a flower spike opens. Plant in succession every 4 weeks for continuous flowers. Also known as 'Sword Lilies'.
