Acidanthera GladiolusHome Family - Garden
Blue Isle Gladiolus - The Blue Isle, 'Gladiolus Blue Isle', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificient dark blue flowers with a light blue heart. Gladiolas are also commonly called Sword Lily or Corn Flag. Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil. Increase water and fertility when flowers begin to develop, then plant 4 deep in clay soils, 6 deep in others; the deeper the planting the less need for staking. In frost prone areas, dig them when the leaves turn yellow, dip them in a fungicide, and store in a dry frost free location over winter. Single Yellow Freesia - The Freesia Single Yellow, 'Iridaceae', a spring planted corm, displays wonderfully fragrant yellow flowers. Freesias are best known as cut flowers, and folks bring them indoors for their breathtaking fragrance. Pinch out the topmost buds and remove old flowerheads to encourage new ones to open. Freesia requires high light intensity and rich soil. Keep them out of extreme heat as they prefer cooler temperatures to perform their best. They are useful for borders and beds and of course, cut flowers. Home page Gardening items list Gardening website More C A S I N O Bonuses Acidanthera Gladiolus Information |
