Van Zyverden Gladiolus - Large Flowering Rainbow Mixed - Set of 25 Bulbs

Only planted 8 of these about 2nd week of June and all eight are growing. I don't expect to see them bloom this year but am very happy they are up and healthy already. I would not hesitate to purchase again or recommend to others. Can't wait to see what the rest do now. Thanks Van Zyverden! 2024 update: Shame to see these are not available now but the original ones I planted immediately have almost all survived and were beautiful last year. They are growing well this year and I expect the same beauty again. I messed up and planted the rest almost a year later and even about half of them are growing this year. I really wanted to get more.

Bought these based on reviews last spring and saw beautiful results..the bulbs we're healthy and we had strong growth even in a season of drought. The flowers were beautiful with colors including yellow, red, light pink and magenta. They looked so beautiful especially when mixed with zinnias. Make sure to plant them deep enough. With a couple we noticed leaning, probably we didn't plant them deep enough.

I bought a variety colored bag of bulbs but they seem to all be this coral color. Beautiful though! Edit - Changing my review from 4 stars to 5. As more bulbs have bloomed I've gotten a white and yellow one. I guess it's hard to know what variety you're going to get as bulbs. Beautiful flowers with a near 100% success rate on bulbs going on to bloom!

The glads came up well, unlike the Calla Lillies I ordered/planted at the same time. Calla total fail, but glads came up steadily, and are now blooming nicely, but only in variations of red; bright orangey red, purpley-red., and pinky-red. No white, yellow, pale pink, etc. as seller has pictured. I was really wanting a diversity of color, so disappointed on that score. But Im enjoying them cut inside, and glad for my very tall vase for these long-stemmed flowers. (fyi: These need staking or they will bow then break.)

I planted these 3 years ago and have enjoyed them every year. I live in the Deep South so I don’t dig them up in the Fall. The colors are gorgeous and give us a lot of joy. If they break or fall over we bring them in as cut flowers.

Bulbs are peaking & starting to grow fast! Excited to see them bloom! Update- never bloomed Newer update- BLOOMED & beautiful (Took a while so be patient)

This was supposed to be a "rainbow" mix. Every single one is purple! They are nice flowers, but, I really was looking forward to multiple colors for indoor arrangements.

Ordered pack of 25 and have 19 growing great the others are duds which I will be reporting so 3 stars for that reason however I have 2 yellow, 1 burgundy red, and 1 red so far with blooms shown in pics. The rest are growing but havent bloomed. I paid for 25 and believe they should reship the 6 that didnt grow. I will update the stars if they do and when I figure out all colors I'll update.
