Definitely pleasing to the eye and fun to grow! Looking for something just a tad unusual? You're sure to turn a few heads with this Gladiolus Dutch Sabor. These blooms will add eye catching hues to the cutting garden and are a wonderful addition to any fresh cut bouquet! For longer lasting arrangements make sure to cut the spike when only one to three florets are open. Plant your Gladioli in full sun away from strong winds. Staking is usually necessary - after the buds have formed place stakes at about 2 in-5 cm from the base of the stems so as not to damage the corms.They are not winter hardy and need to be lifted in the fall and stored in a frost free area or treated as an annual.
