Tom Glamini Gladiolus 10 Bulbs - NEW! - Petite - 10/12 cm - Burgundy/Red

NEW! Dramatic solid burgundy-red blooms add a regal ambiance. Hirt's is proud to introduce a new type of glad that blooms earlier, more profusely, and over a longer period than ordinary glads...yet needs no staking! Discovered and developed very recently in Holland, Glaminis are a new form of gladiolus that grows just 20" tall. Each top quality bulb will produce up to 20 richly coloured, full-size blooms, with flowering lasting up to 19 days! Plant them in borders, pots and even window boxes. Glaminis are also fabulous in a vase! Prized for large bouquets, stately gladioli (yes, that's the accepted plural form, and much more graceful than the alternatives) offer an enormous color range, including the most delicate pastels, bold hues and almost unimaginable bi-colors. 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. (Imagine the luxury of having armloads of glads to display around the house!) To enjoy blooms for many weeks through July and August, plant corms at two week intervals from early spring until the end of June. Glads are easy to grow, requiring only full sun and good drainage. Hardy in zones 8-10; elsewhere treat as an annual, or dig them in the fall and store over winter.
