Stunning tri-color blooms on towering flowering stems, the Elvive Gladiolus (Gladiolus x hortulanus 'Elvive') is a high-impact Glad with wide, overlapping petals in violet-purple that fade to white before exploding with red throats!

Elvive Gladiolus grows fast, maturing into waving 36-48 tall wands that flower in the summer, each bud taking its time to unfurl from the bottom up, giving you weeks of enjoyment! Snip the blossoms for wondrous bouquets or keep them outdoors for your pollinators and even the occasional hummingbird!

Gladiolus are framed in a tight cluster of sword-like vertical foliage, growing just 12-18 inches tall and spreading just 6-8 inches wide! 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:

Elvive Gladiolus shines in sunny beds and borders, mixing beautifully with other white, purple, and red blooms to create a stunning addition to your Cottage gardens and mixed perennial beds! The nectar-rich blooms turn any garden into a pollinator garden!

Elvive ramps up its color impact when planted in groupings, mass plantings, and winding rows! Giving your vase bouquets and pollinators plenty to choose from and boosting curb appeal enormously!

You don't need to go big with Elvive or even have a garden either! These space-saving bulb plants can be planted in pots, urns, and container gardens, giving any porch, patio planter or balcony raised bed garden a chance to enjoy these vivid flowering spires!

  • Radiant White Petals With Purple Overlapping Edges & Showy 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 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

Pretty flouncy blooms in a triple-treat of color, the Elvive Gladiolus shines in the landscape and container garden beautifully! Order quality bulbs and corms today from NatureHills.com and we'll ship your bulbs to you at the proper planting time for your growing zone!
