The Gladiolus Mixed, 'Gladiolus mixed', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent mixed colored flowers on short stalks. These early summer flowering Glads are strikingly marked with patterns and colors. The multiple glad-like flowers are on stems that hold 10 to 14 flowers. They make striking accents in a mixed border and as cut flowers. Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil. Increase water and fertility when flowers begin to develop, then plant 3" deep in clay soils, 6" deep in others. In frost prone areas, dig them when the leaves turn yellow, dip them in a fungicide, and store in a dry frost free location over winter.
