Gladiolus have been loved by gardeners for generations. These summer-blooming bulbs produce elegant, 3-foot flower spikes with orchid-like blooms. They look spectacular in a vase and are suitable for growing in flower gardens, container gardens, and even vegetable gardens. 

Gladiolus are available in a rainbow of gorgeous colors, ranging from white, yellow, pink, and lavender to rose, burgundy, purple, and even green. The bulbs are incredibly easy to grow. Just plant them in spring for flowers in late summer.
