Today's Gladiolus (or simply 'glads' as they are quite often called) are more beautiful than varieties of years ago and produce lush sword like foliage. They appreciate the warm weather of summer and are very easy to plant and grow. Gladiolus come in a wide selection of classic colors as well as the newest bi-colors or tri-colors. After the danger of frost has passed， you can plant them all at once， or plant them bi-weekly for continuous flowers throughout summer. They are best planted in groups and make for excellent lavish florist quality cut flowers. Gladiolus Purple Flora is a standout in the garden with its striking， vibrant color and ruffled blooms. Color starts out velvety violet -purple maturing to a more dark indigo color. There is no other Glad quite like it.
