    Customer photo review of Gladiolus Flower Bulbs - Passion Mix

    Every bulb that I planted bloomed and they turned out beautiful! The intense heat wave that we had didn’t allow them to last very long, but they were pretty none the less. Only thing is I wish I got a few reds. Most of the ones that bloomed came out purple. I did get two pretty orange ones and two pink ones. I am glad with the success in germination though! Be sure to have some rabbit defense if that is an issue in your yard.

    Customer photo review of Gladiolus Flower Bulbs - Passion Mix

    This is my first year growing gladiolus, and it won’t be my last! There was more purple in the mix than I expected but still really have liked being surprised by what color will pop up next!

    I am so grateful for this company for producing such a high quality flower seeds and bulbs. Germination was very quick and got lots of beautiful flowers.

    Gladiolus Flower Bulbs - Passion Mix

    I planted 17 of the 20 I ordered in containers. 9 bloomed. First time planting gladdies. All of them were the same coral color. The flowers that bloomed were very pretty, but I was disappointed that they were all the same color.

    The bulbs grew nicely : above garden container and in ground. First time glad planter and failed to realize i was going to be feeding local bunny posse. Above ground bulbs needed more support, as blooms are tilted but amazing color. Will try again

    At least 1/3 of the bulbs were white, yellow, and pale orange.

    I ordered 20 bulbs and all 20 sprouted almost immediately! I've ordered a lot of plants from Eden Brothers, and these gladiolus and the dahlias are the start performers so far. They haven't bloomed yet but I can't wait! I live in zone 12b.

    Gladiolus Flower Bulbs - Passion Mix

    I have grown many Gladiolus in the past and have had great success with them. But with this mix a couple of the bulbs did not grow. Of all the ones that did grow, I had only 2 colors: royal purple and orangy-red. I was so terribly disappointed as all the colors in the picture looked so lovely together! I feel hesitant to order anything here again.
