Prized for large bouquets, stately gladioli offer an enormous color range, from the most pastels to bold hues to almost unimaginable bicolors. Their sword-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. Enjoy blooms for many weeks through July and August by planting bulbs at two-week intervals from early spring until the end of June. Glads are easy to grow, requiring only full sun and good drainage.

"Belle de Nuit" has majestic burgundy-red blooms that look like a velvet masterpiece.
