By far my favorite gladiolus color from this company! I look forward to them every year – a lot of work in Zone 4, but worth it. They really DO look like orchids. Plucking the lower flowers over time extends their vase life tremendously.
I planted these all around my house in different conditions: good soil, clay soil, shade, sun, and EVERY ONE bloomed. I was shocked, to be honest. The hummingbirds also loved them which was exciting for my kids to watch. And if any stems did break (thanks storms), they made a beautiful single stem in a vase.
I mix these in with my daffodils as they will flower as the daffodil leaves are waning. These lilies have brilliant blooms. In Eastern NC, they come back year after year. They don’t spread much, but that can be a good thing. Seem to tolerate semi-shade pretty well.
Foliage came up but no blooms. I will try again to plant next year 2019 and hope for better results
Great price and great product! I soaked these bulbs overnight before planting and they all sprouted within the first week! I will be purchasing from Holland Bulbs again. Can't wait to see them flower!
