Unrivaled in elegance, bicolor ‘Fiorentina’ Gladiolus is a stunner for the summer garden. Gladioli are easy-to-grow flower bulbs available in a rainbow of colors, from soft pastels to rich vivid hues. Bulbs are planted in spring, and by mid-summer they’ll be blooming, which makes them great for filling in your garden with quick color. Their tall elegant flower spikes emerge over strappy sword-like foliage, slowly revealing blooms from the bottom up. This flowering habit makes Gladiolus an excellent cut flower.

Planting deeply will help anchor tall plants, though light staking or protection from wind is recommended.
