About This Variety: This blend is a new combination of three new Gladiolus varieties: Flevo Frost, Flevo Ocean and Flevo Gipsy. Growing Instructions: Choose a well-drained, sunny location. Planting them at their optimum depth of 8” will help anchor them against strong winds. Plant them in rows, circles or whatever makes for a nice display. Flowers will come in 70-100 days. In USDA zones 6 to 7, they will thrive as well if protected by a layer of mulch throughout the winter. They love to be fertilized.
