Let yourself be surprised as you wait for this cheerful mix to bloom. These petite beauties are new to the industry and are a spectacular new addition to American gardens. This gladiola is half the height of the old-fashioned glads, but still has bright colors that stand out at a distance. Since these Glaminis are so short and naturally sturdy, they don't need to be staked, making them perfect for mixed borders, annual beds, tropical gardens, and even containers. Give them plenty of sun, well-drained fertile soil, and plant a batch of bulbs every other week in early spring for continuous gorgeous blooms. Hardy zones 8-10; dig and store in colder zones.
