Peter Pears Gladiolus
Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil.
Gladiolas are also commonly called Sword Lily or Corn Flag.
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.
The Gladiolus Peter Pears, 'Gladiolus Peter Pears', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent orange flowers with red centers on tall stalks.
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.
