Gladiolus 'Boone'
Glad
Plant Type:
BULBSGladiolus ‘Boone’ – is a lovely pastel orange heirloom - a gentle color - that came our way via Barry Glick of Sunshine Farm and Gardens, West Virginia. With a touch of yellow at its heart it is a warm color combination flowering primarily in July; however, ‘Boone’ is somewhat free-flowering for us and has sent up blooming spikes into August. As with 'Atom' this is a primulinus type. 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.
