Glads do flop - I have not grown them in a number of years. I always had them in the ground, but felt they needed something else with them.

The only Gladioli I grow are the byzantius and "Atom" - I guess they're singles, as opposed to the big fancy ones? But they don't need lifting, so I'm a fan!

Can't believe I don't have a picture of either of them.

I like the leaf shapes in containers. These were listed as dwarf. I didnt realize that referred to the bloom size.

How beautiful, JoAnn!!
Love the pots, too.

JoAnn

your containers are gorgeous. Very striking!

I had not thought about putting glads into my containers. I have put callas in though.

If you put glads in containers be sure they are a short variety. and plant deep.

I bought "dwarfs" they meant the blooms not the height of the plants. There are short varieties.I would google to find them. I know they are out there I just cant remember what they're called.
