Gladiolus, commonly known as glads, is a strikingly beautiful flowering plant that belongs to the Iris family. Known for its tall, sword-shaped leaves and vibrant, funnel-shaped flowers, the gladiolus adds a bold touch to gardens and floral arrangements. Gladiolus is a stunning and versatile flowering plant that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Whether grown for landscaping, floral arrangements, or pollinator attraction, this low-maintenance plant adds color and elegance to any garden. While growing gladiolus from corms is faster, planting from seeds requires patience but can be a rewarding process.
