    Customer photo review of Gladiolus Flower Bulbs - Rainbow Mix

    I didn’t know what to expect with these. I had never grown them before. That said, I will be growing so many more next year! They all came up, and I learned you really do need to plant them deep so they won’t topple over. Gorgeous colors!

    Customer photo review of Gladiolus Flower Bulbs - Rainbow Mix

    I ordered these in February as a pre order. They arrived and seemed to be healthy and we planted after the first frost. They have grown to be 2-3feet tall but there is no flower stalk growing. So we are now in June and no flowers. They are healthy and green so I’m not sure what the problem is.

    I ordered them late Spring, hoping to fill in gaps in my glad grouping. All came up and bloomed in August-September, zone 7b East Tennessee. I had a full summer of glad glory. Very pleased

    Planted 20 bulbs and all sprouted but only had a few yellow and the rest were white. They were all very sad looking and flopped over immediately. I made sure to plant at depth listed.

    These gladiolus flowers are tall and beautiful! I planted them in March in Houston and they have been in bloom for the whole month of May. Lots of cut flowers for my home. They do require staking but otherwise, very easy to grow! They exceeded my expectations!

    Purchased 40 bulbs and split order in half. Planted 20 bulbs in large planter about 3 weeks ago. They are sprouting the one container is showing all 20 sprouts and growing steadily. The other 20 bulbs planted 2 weeks later are beginning to pop-up. It is wonderful to see them grow daily. The weather is warm here averaging about 82-90 degrees each day which is ideal for this little gems. Anyway, will be buying more bulbs from Eden Brothers in the future. Will follow-up in 3 months with pics!! Thanks Guys!!

    Super disappointed to receive these bulbs that over 50% were dried and had black rot on them. I was so excited to plant these but now I have very little hope for germination. Wish I would have gone on Amazon to read reviews prior to purchase as it appears I am not the only one with this issue. My friend got a different mix and I helped her plant hers and they were all healthy and awesome. I have contacted customer service as I'd hope I'd get some sort of refund or new bulbs and will update on what they say. Overall just BUMMED as I was so excited to plant these with my 3 year old and now not sure they will even come up.

    Bought 100 total. Originally I thought they were a bit expensive, however, there is no comparison between these bulbs and the big box stores. All bulbs were firm and they were not completely dehydrated. Still smelled like dirt (very fresh) Bulbs were much larger than expected. Just put them in the ground. Very excited to see them break the surface. Will try and come back in 60-90 days to post update.
