Moonhowl said:Just an FYI. If you love gladiolas and hate staking them, check out the Glamini series. Full size blooms on dwarf size plants. do check around on google because the pricing is arbitrary... from $10 for 25 bulbs to as much $ 25 for 25 bulbs.

I have to agree on the Glamini Series. I gave up on regular size glads as soon as I discovered the Glamini. They are really pretty and don't need staking. I plant them deeply and just leave them in ground. They come up each year. No fussing!

hi there weed wacker, i had to quit bringing my glads in the house because they are always full of ants too

Yes, it just isn't very pretty to have those nice flowers and then have ants all over the place!
