Another have-to-have in the garden with simple yet exotic looking flowers of light pink speckled with hot pinks and a fuchsia throat. Glads require little space to grow, combine well with other plants, and make excellent cut flowers. Bulbs require good drainage. Leave foliage to nourish bulb after flowering. Mulch in winter. Lift before freezing.
