The radiant royal purple and gold hue of the Colour Club Gladiolus (Gladiolus x hortulanus 'Colour Club') will leave you stunned as it blooms open all summer on tall spires! Each bloom opens from the bottom of the spire gradually to the top, resembling ruffled butterflies ready to take flight!
The Colour Club Gladiolus have tall, sword-like green foliage that spreads just 6-8 inches wide each, creating massive height and color impact without taking up lots of space! The enormous blooms bring in the pollinators and curious hummingbirds to drop by every summer!
Gladiola corms can grow as seasonal or annual accents in all USDA planting zones. However, gardeners in zones 8 to 10 can use these plants in the ground all year round as perennial accents!
Landscape Application:
The Colour Club Gladiolus adds gorgeous vertical texture in large mixed-planters, porch and patio pots, or planted as a specimen grouping in a tall, high-style container on either side of your sunny front door!
Any garden becomes a cut flower garden with a few Gladiolas and you will love the upscale and vase arrangements you can create with these incredible, long-lasting blooms! In the cottage garden or perennial border, Glads create high-impact drifts, backdrops, and rows in tight spots! Update the mailbox garden, your foundation border, or your foundation itself by mixing Colour Club with Iris, Hollyhock, and Delphinium as a tall but narrow border!
Glads look best and have the most impact when planted in groupings in corners or as punctuation among landscape beds, in rows for lining paths, or in a tidy row or zigzag along a fence line or rock wall!
- Ruffled Petals Transition From Purple To Yellow With Red Throats
- Upright Sword-Shaped Green Foliage
- Long-Lasting Bloom Time
- Fantastic Cut Flowers & Pollinator-Friendly
- Specimen, Containers, Focal Points, Pollinator & Cut Flower Gardens
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Gladiolus flowers best in full sun in cooler growing zones but appreciates afternoon shade in hot climates. Any well-drained soil environment works great and these corms grow best when their soil isn't soggy and highly organic. These bulbs do appreciate moderate yet regular moisture access.
Plant these corms, which are round, squat little bulb-like structures, in the spring. Plant them about 6-8 inches deep. Groupings and rows have the biggest effect and impact on your garden, so plant your corms pointy side up about 5-6 inches apart.
Stake your flower wands unless you plant your Glads in a location protected from the wind. Deadhead the flowering spire as soon as the last flower fades but keep the greenery to make food for the bulb until they turn yellow. In zones 1 through 7, lift your corms up and store them for the winter in a cool, dry location. 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 & Afternoon Shade In Hot Climates
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Organic Well-Drained Soil
- Deadhead After Blooms Fade & Prune or Dig in Fall
- Spring-Planted Summer-Flowering Corm
- Deer & Rabbit Resistant
