Premium Gladiolus Bulbs (corms)
(Hardy Zones 7-10; in colder climates, lift bulbs for winter storage.)

B&D Lilies is offering Gladiolus (Glads) corms for planting and flowering with your lilies both on-line and at the spring Flower & Garden Shows. They flower throughout summer and their strong vertical stance is perfect as a background companion plant, plus they also make excellent cut flowers. Dianna grows the corms in large container lining the walkway to the front door, but unless you put packing peanuts in the bottom of the pots, they require a hand truck to move around. The pots are "double planted" - 5 to 10 corms go in the center and two weeks later 10 to 20 are planted around the outside edge - to extend the blooming period.

Originating from wild species native to South Africa, Mediterranean regions and the Middle East, extensive hybridization since the late 1600’s has obscured the originating parentage of most modern hybrids that we know and love today, but their popularity has not diminished. Liking reasonably fertile, well-drained soil, regular watering and weeding, (just like our lily bulbs) “Glads” will bloom during, and just after Lily Season, adding their own special aura to your garden. Full sun is preferred, but light shade or half day sun is OK in warmer areas.

We are nearly finished with our spring shows and have added more varieties for you to choose from this spring. All are Jumbo sized bulbs this year, only Flevo Daniellia is size 12/14. Bigger bulbs give you taller stems with more flowers.
