Gladiolas

Gladiolas are originally from South Africa. Very tall in height, these flowers stand up to as high as six feet. The flowers of the gladiola grow on a spike that sprouts out of a tubular structure. They are usually planted in the months of May and bloom in June and July. Hence, these flower types are very seasonal.

Stiff and upright, gladiolas look stunning in a vase arrangement without need for any other flower filler. They come in a variety of bright colors and white. When planted against a fence, they are very attractive, as they grow very tall. They are best planted in the back of a garden.

Gladiolas require a lot of sunlight and thrive well even when planted in a row, just like vegetables. They are best grown outdoors as they are very sturdy.
When used in centerpieces, gladiolas call for attention and exude magnificence and elegance.
