Cherry Cola Gladiolus

It's hard to believe that these deep red, extra-ruffled blooms aren't mini carnations! Definitely pleasing to the eye and fun to grow!

Looking for something just a tad unusual? You're sure to turn a few heads with this Dutch Gladiolus. These blooms will add eye catching hues to the cutting garden and are a wonderful addition to any fresh cut bouquet! We suggest planting your Glads at intervals of 2 weeks, which will allow you to enjoy them in your arrangements throughout the season.

For longer lasting arrangements make sure to cut the spike when only one to three florets are open. Plant your Gladioli in full sun away from strong winds. Staking is usually necessary - after the buds have formed place stakes at about 2 in-5 cm from the base of the stems so as not to damage the corms. In Zones 3-6 corms should be dug up in the fall and stored in a frost free place until the following spring when they can be replanted.
