I have planted the bulbs and it only took about two weeks before I started to notice growth. The foliage is fast growing and I'm looking forward to the blooms. This is the first time I've ever grown glads. I like them as cut flowers in the house, but are getting to be too expensive to buy at the markets. I only gave four stars because I've not experienced the blooms yet.
I was hesitant to order the 100 Gladiolus pack. I never thought that my plants would grow like other people's comments say their bulbs were growing. But, the shipping was more expensive than the actual product, and I had to give it a try. The advertisement said that the bulbs would actually bloom in a few months, wow! I am astounded by how fast these bulbs grew. They shot right up and are still growing strong. I can't wait to see them flower; I didn't think it was possible, but it is!!
I prepared 2 small beds to plant 25 bulbs in each bed. It appears that most of them have come up and are flourishing. In the Texas heat, THAT is saying something! I can't wait to see them bloom.
These started coming up within a week. All that I have planted have come up so far. Great value for so many bulbs. The corms are petite but very healthy. Hoping I’ll get lots of small glads later this summer!
As soon as I planted them, within 4 days they started to grow!
