Description
Grow your very own rainbow with this gorgeous Gladiolus mix! Whether you’re padding out a charming chocolate-box cottage garden or just need some vibrant vertical accents in a mixed planting scheme, these tall, flower-filled stems will do the trick. A riotous array of surprise colours is what you can expect when large-flowering Gladiolus 'Mixed Colours' start to burst into bloom in summer, and we’re sure you’ll love each and every one of the varied blooms. If you’re into growing your own flowers to display indoors, plant plenty of these easy-to-grow bulbs and they’ll reward minimal effort with impressive flower bounty!
Gladiolus 'Mixed Colours' is a random mix of varieties which will both complement and contrast with each other. Plant them in groups or weave drifts through the border, alternatively, dot them around among other summer plants—they’re narrow enough to fill even the smallest gaps with high-impact colour. Gladioli are perennials and can grow back for a number of years, but being half hardy means they may require some winter protection.
Take advantage of Farmer Gracy's unrivaled large-flowering gladiolus mixture. Gladioli are very easy to grow, provided you use a sunny location and plant them in soil with good drainage. Gladioli (or glads) come in a wide range of single and bi-colour flowers that open in sequence from the bottom of the flower spike to the top. Of course we selected the strongest and most beautiful gladiolus varieties for this jaw-dropping selection!
