Nori Gladiolus

Gorgeous bi-color blooms, the Nori Gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Nori') feature darker purple ruffled petals that fade ombre-style to creamy white centers and throats! You will love the white eyes and tall wands full of alternating flowers along the spike! Florists love Gladiolas because they bloom from the bottom up, for a long-lasting display, and Butterflies adore them for the color and nectar resources!

Also known as Sword Lilies, these two-tone blooms are incredible and can grow fast to about 5 feet to add waving sculptural texture and motion to your landscape! Small footprint-sized foliage clumps, fit great into large container plantings and garden beds and borders because even the foliage is vertical! Tall green sword-like leaves are the perfect foil for the tall flower spikes! Imagine a tall vase in your home full of these incredible erect blooms!

Perennial corms in USDA growing zones 8-10, the midsummer blooms work as fast-growing annual accents in all other growing zones. Northern growers can dig the corms up in the fall once the foliage has yellowed and store them for the winter in a frost-free location. Long-lasting color, these flower spikes can bloom for a couple of weeks! For a longer display or staggered bloom, plant your corms two weeks apart for wave after wave of flowers all summer!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Gladiolus bloom best in full sun and partial shade in a protected location. For especially windy sites, these especially tall stems do well when provided staking to keep them from flopping. Plant your corms in well-drained, organically rich soil that has moderate, consistent moisture.

Deadhead after the flowers fade and keep the leaves until they turn yellow to make food for the corms. In the fall, lift your bulbs out of the ground and store them in a nylon stocking or brown paper bag in a cool, dry location with good ventilation above freezing. Each year you’ll notice more and more little corms forming around the base of the parent corm for more blooms each year!

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Moderate Moisture Needs
• Organic Well-Drained Soil
• Deadhead After Blooms Fade & Prune or Dig in Fall
• Deer & Rabbit Resistant
