About Gladiolus Bulbs
Seed Type Heirloom Seed, Open Pollinated Seed
The Gladiolus, derived from the Latin word for sword, “gladius,” belongs to the iris family and is characterized by its perennial bulbous flowering plants. Contrary to popular belief, Gladiolus grow from corms, not bulbs. Often referred to as the sword lily, they are most commonly known simply as gladiolus (pl. gladioli, gladioluses, or gladiolas) in English. Symbolically, the Gladiolus represents remembrance and infatuation, conveying emotions that deeply touch the heart.
Gladiolus plants are visually appealing, perennial herbs that thrive in semi-hardy temperate climates. Known for their ease of cultivation, vibrant colors, and suitability as cut flowers, gladioli are highly popular among gardeners. Requiring minimal maintenance, these plants typically bloom in August, gracing gardens with tall, colorful flowers that enhance any landscape design.
