Whether you're an experienced gardener or a beginner, Sugar Plum Gladiolus bulbs are easy to grow, rewarding you with spectacular blooms all summer long.

The wands stand tall among a fringe of vertical, sword-like green foliage and form tidy clumps just 6-8 inches wide. These grow from corms that are hardy in the ground all year round in USDA growing zones 8 and up, but cooler climates need to treat Glads like Canna or Calla Lily, lifting the bulbs in the fall and storing them for the winter.

#ProPlantTips For Planting & Care:

Gladiolus are strongest and have the best flowering display in full sun in cooler growing zones but appreciate afternoon shade in hot growing zones. Any well-drained soil location works great. These bulbs do appreciate moderate yet regular moisture access and mulched beds.

Plant these corms in the spring 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 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 as you would Canna or Dahlias, and store them for the winter in a cool, dry location.

• 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
