Why Plant Gladiolus?

Often referred to as 'sword lily,' Gladiolus are a 'go-to' for any cut flower arrangement. If you want to impress with little work, 'glads' can't be beat. Growing gladiolus is easy and will allow you to add color almost anywhere in your garden. Because gladiolus plants take very little ground space, they’re perfect for filling in a perennial bed. If you plant the gladiolus bulbs, known as corms, on successive weekends in spring, you’ll get elegant spires of color for weeks and weeks in the summer.
