    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Some people wonder why you'd choose green flowers. If you've ever arranged with them, you know. They sit beautifully between squabbling colors like magenta and orange, creating a cooling divide. Try it. You'll be plesantly surprised. Why Grow Tall Gladiolus? Strong, tall stalks with 9-14 flowers each from these jumbo size bulbs For glads, bulb size really impacts performances. Our glads are 16+cm jumbos. Plant glads in full sun for larger, brighter blooms. If you're new to glads, here's our recommendation: choose two or three varieties. Plant every two weeks starting when your area is frost-free. Savor and extended harvest into fall and share with friends and neighbors. You'll hear "What?! You grew these?!"
