Windsong Gladiolus
Gladiolas are also commonly called Sword Lily or Corn Flag.
The Gladiolus Windsong, 'Gladiolus Windsong', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent purple flowers with white centers.
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.
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.

Harlequin bugs are smelly bugs that pierce the tissue of plants and suck the fluids. Keeping your garden clear of debris and using crop covers is a preventative measure. If you find these bugs, spray with a soapy water solution.
