Prized for large bouquets, stately gladiloli (Yes, that's the accepted plurel form, and much more graceful than the alternatives.) offer an enormous color range, including the most delicate pastels, bold hues and almost unimaginable bicolors. Their sowrd-like foliage and tall, impressive flower spikes make striking accents in the mixed flower border. For best garden effect, plant in groups of six or more of a single color, or grow dozens of them in a bed reserved for cutting. (Imagine the luxury of having armloads of glads to display around the house!) To enjoy blooms for many weeks through July and August, plant corms at two-week intervals from early spring until the end of June. Glads are easy to grow, requiring only full sun and good drainage. Height 36-60". Bulb size: 14-16 cm in cir. Hardy in zones 8-11; elsewhere treat as an annual, or dig them in the fall and store over winter. Vibrant fuchsia-pink with a deep magenta center, highlighted by a pure white border.
