Like snowfall in summer, White Prosperity Gladiolus brightens the summer garden with plentiful pure-white flowers on tall stately stalks. Breathtaking 4" flowers growing up to 5 ft. tall make White Prosperity an essential addition to the summer garden.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Gladiolus White Prosperity adds vertical interest and cascades of snow white flowers to the summer garden. Blooming from mid-summer into fall, they look beautiful planted with Dahlias, ornamental grasses and other summer bloomers. This gladiolus variety was voted one of the top ten cultivars in the international cut flower market. At a height of 4-5 ft. and with 18-20 flowers per stalk it’s easy to see why they are so popular. Plant them 5" apart in groups of at least 5 for best effect. To prolong the season of bloom, plant groups of White Prosperity in succession every 2 weeks. Easy to grow and deer resistant, they make great cut flowers. Cut the stems on a cool morning with a sharp knife when there are just a few open (or partially open) flowers. Place the stems in lukewarm water with a flower preservative and the warmth of the water will encourage more flowers to open. Move to a cooler location once flowers have opened and enjoy. In zones 3-4, you can save your bulbs for next spring by digging them before the first frost and storing them in a cool, dry, frost-free place over winter.

Planting Guides
Summer Blooming Bulbs, including popular varieties such as gladiolus and dahlias, are planted in the spring and bloom in the summer. Most of these bulbs are tropical and require warm weather to be planted. There must not be any danger of frost and your ground temperature must have reached 55 degrees Fahrenheit before planting. Many
of our summer blooming bulbs can be planted as perennials in zones 9-10 (zone 8 if mulched), but should be treated as annuals in cooler climates. You can lift them and store them in the fall, or bring patio pots inside before frost. See page 15 of our Planting Guide for a bulb depth planting illustration.
Growing Gladiolus: After spring frosts are over, plant the gladiolus corms (bulbs) in your flower bed wherever you want brilliant color in mid-summer. Gladiolus take very little space in the garden and can easily be planted between other plants. After planting, keep the bulbs watered regularly. Soon you’ll have bright sword-like foliage and brilliant blooms. Gladiolus corms are inexpensive, and provide excellent color for the cost. As frost threatens, you can just forget them, and replace them with new bulbs next growing season, or dig up the corms and store them in a cool try place until the following spring.
