Deep ruby red flowers with black edging make this a standout in any garden! Their sword-like foliage and 40"tall, impressive flower spikes, make striking accents in the mixed flower border. For best garden effect, plant in groups of five or more. Don't forget to plant enough for cut flowers! Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil. Increase water and fertility when flowers begin to develop. Plant 2 deep and 6" apart. Staking is usually not necessary, however they should be protected from strong winds. *We ship healthy, bare-root bulbs. Ten corms per bag.* *Your Gladiolus will ship within 3 business days.
