We are falling hard for gladiolas and Smokey was what originally made us turn our heads and reconsider the Gladiola. Pearly mauve, she has a kind of lady chic that we are saying yes to. Elegant, stately, tea party vibes

Don't call it a comeback. Gladiolas may have gone out of fashion for a minute, but they have always been the towering queens of the cottage garden. They have reemerged and are here to stay. Vertical, Iris-like, ruffled spikes of color, easy to grow, and easy to love. Gladiolas, we are glad, glad, glad that you've arrived.

Includes 15 corms in a cloth bag, with a wooden plant marker and planting instructions.
