    I love the color of these Gladiolus! They were out of this world! I ordered 10, but only half of them germinated. Hopefully a lot more will come up this season!

    Customer photo review of Gladiolus Flower Bulbs - Purple Flora

    I love these! These were the best thing I ordered from here. They had great germination and I grew them in pots and beds. They were true to color with the exception of one white, which was fine.

    I ordered 10 of these bulbs, my first time ordering from Eden Bros. Every one of them came up and look healthy and strong. Now I can hardly wait to see the flowers in bloom. I will definitely be ordering again from this company!’

    Out of 30 glads I planted this spring this variety and White Prosperity also sold by Eden Brothers has done the absolute worst. 2 out of 10 Purple Flora bloomed and didn’t even do so all the way and only 3 of 15 White Prosperity bloomed halfway. All my other gladiolus did wonderful this year besides those sold to me by Eden Brothers. I will never be buying from Eden Brothers again, and I would not waste your money here.

    Gladiolus Flower Bulbs - Purple Flora

    Planted in Zone 8B in Florida panhandle in early April; put in a well prepared bed with western exposure at foundation of house. 8 weeks from planting to bloom. Deep purple flowers on huge, robust plants. Have had to stake, but that may be due to 22 inches of rain so far June, which has beaten them down some. Outstanding cultivar, will buy more next spring. These were the earliest bloomers of the 4 varieties purchased (bed includes red, white prosperity, and green star)
