Gladiolus Blue Sky

Hard-to-Find Color! Up to a dozen blooms open at once on these vigorous plants! So rare and beautiful, the deep violet-blue shade of these blooms is the perfect accent for your Gladiolus garden, and complements every other flower in the indoor arrangement! Blue Sky is an easy-to-grow, quick-to-bloom variety with up to a dozen blooms open at any given time over its long summer season!Just 8 weeks after you sow this tender bulb, the long, elegant buds begin to open! The flowers are held wide open, with rounded blooms, flattish petals, and a width of between 3? and 4? inches apiece. Talk about showy!Blue Sky is hardy only south of zone 7, but is easy to dig up at season's end and replant next spring everywhere else. In fact, it's so economical you can even leave it in the ground and just buy new beauties next spring! The plant reaches 4 to 5 feet high, just 12 to 15 inches wide, and blooms an astonishing 8 weeks after planting! I recommend planting a few Glads every week or so from spring all the way into midsummer, so you get blooms continuously right into fall!If you're a cutflower lover, you know the impact of even a single stem of Glad in a vase. Plant Blue Sky among other Glads of all colors, from unusual Coral Lace to stunning tricolor Mon Amor to soft rose-and-cream All Yours! All that Glads really need to grow beautifully year after year is well-drained soil, plenty of sunshine, water during dry spells and decent soil (enrich it with fertilizer if it's poor!). If left in the ground below zone 7 they will even multiply over time! Very happy in hot, humid summer weather, they are floriferous, long-blooming, and endlessly beautiful, indoors and out! Zones 8--10. Bulb. This product can be purchased in the following collection: Park's Mad About Glads Collection (89250)
