BULBS LOOKING REALLY GOOD. I HOPE THEY WILL BLUM.
I bought these last year and planted them, all that came up was the green stalks. I didn't know you had to stake them (its not listed in the care instructions), they all flopped over and died. I left them in the ground over the winter (Zone 8b) and they starting pushing new growth in April. They have finally officially bloomed in late June of this year. Note- you HAVE to stake them, or the stalks will flop and you won't get any blooms.
Ordered the Royal Class Gladiolus because they were an unusual color. The price was a bonus for all that I got. A very beautiful flower and I can't wait for them to bloom.
All 10 of my Gladiolus are sprouting. They only took about a week before they started producing
