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.
