The Gladiolus Butterfly Bizar, 'Gladioli' produces beautiful red and white flowers on tall stalks. Butterfly Gladioli are shorter than their large-flowering sibling and require no staking. They are exceptional for planting in borders, in perennial gardens or in a container, and make a wonderful cut flower. To extend the time of flower availability of your Glads, plant in two week intervals from early spring through June. 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.
