    I wish I had read the reviews on these before. I was looking forward to the purple mix. I’m type A, and meticulous about planning my garden. I planted a lot of gladiolus bulbs around my birdbath, and I have 9 blooms already. 6 red and three white. So far. Although the scarlet is beautiful, I am disappointed that I spent the money to get something different than what I ordered. I wish I had read the reviews first.

    in 2021 my glads came up fine, bloomed beautifully: dark orange & white. I contacted Eden Bros and received a refund. I dug up the 2021's in the fall and gave them away. I used said refund to reorder this blend. Planted in a new area because I have dealt with glads reproducing before (it's hard to get all the corms dug out) and did not want to get the new and old mixed together. I got 2 lilac, the rest are white and orange. They are pretty and healthy....but not cream, lilac, or plum. 2 times and I am out.

    I have ordered bulbs from Eden Brothers on 4 times and have been sent the wrong this 3 of those times, never had an issue with thier seeds. These bulbs came up red, which is to bad, I was so looking forward to seeing the lovely purple pictured here, my order was messed up last year as well, I don't think I'll ever get to see these plants in my garden.
