Gladiolus italicus 'Texas Snowflurry'

Glad

Plant Type:

BULBS

Gladiolus italicus 'Texas Snowflurry' - This lovely late spring bloomer (late spring for us in northeastern Connecticut in a pot) flowers in white. It is a species glad and, therefore, is more demure than the larger cousins... perhaps more at home in the rock garden or closer to the front of a perennial patch. It's a lovely thing. 'Texas Snowflurry' will go dormant in summer; remember where you placed it. And in the north treat it as a potted plant or lift and store it away for the winter. Corms will be smaller than those of florist glads. We have not attempted to overwinter this glad in the garden. Tall and narrow with gradual increase.

Genus Overview: Gladiolus

Common Name: Glad

Gladiolus is the well-known florist cut flower. These among others planted at Quackin’ Grass have demonstrated surprising hardiness. We no longer dig them out in the late season, bagging them for a winter out-of-the-ground experience placed in a cool corner in the basement; rather, we leave them in the south facing foundation garden on the south side of our home where they are flourishing. Plant them in full sun in any decent, well-drained garden soil. All of the following glads are offered as multiple potted corms or sent bareroot at our discretion. But one purchase will always equate to multiple corms.
