Rose Supreme 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.
The Gladiolus Rose Supreme 'Gladiolus Rose Supreme', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent pink colored flowers 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.
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.

Corn earworms are ugly caterpillars that start chewing on corn stalks as soon as they pop out of the ground. You can minimize the damage these bugs wreak by sprinkling ground lime on corn ears once the silk appears.
