Trio of Gladiolus Bundle: 45 Corms

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.

The warm and bright color effect of these three Glads together just make us so excited for spring. Plant with Cats White Violas and Scabiosa Fama White up front to really set off these pink, mauve and apricot hues. Can you just picture it? Gah! We can't wait!
