Description
Gladiolus 'Sunshine' - bright and colorful yellow and orange flower spikes; 18"-36". An old-fashioned flower originally from Africa, that as reclaimed its place in the flower border and as a cut flower. Colorful blossoms alternating up tall stems, come in a myriad of colors and offer linear structure to the back of the garden. Glads prefer full sun, well-drained soil and sometimes need to be planted deeply to keep them from falling over. They often stand up nicely when planted deeply or when grown with other strong, sturdy plants like dahlias that act as a trellis for them. Plant at one of two week intervals to extend bloom season; top sized corms. Standard varieties 18"-36" and smaller varieties 12"-24"; 14+cm bulbs unless otherwise noted; whz 8-10; (7b when we plant deeper and mulch).
