Gladioli provide a beautiful show when in a vase in the home or out in the garden. This wonderful selection of colours is sure to delight every gardener. Flowering during spring in warmer regions and through summer in cooler temperate regions, Gladioli can be planted every 4-6 weeks throughout the season to provide a staggered display of colour. An elegant cut flower, Gladioli can be planted late Autumn, through Winter and Spring. In cold climates plant the corms after the danger of frost is over and will flower around 100 days after planting.
