Gladiolus 'Karma' (5 bulbs)

I planted these bulbs in early spring and was thrilled to see all five sprout strong, sturdy stems within a few weeks. The blooms are a rich, velvety shade that really stands out in my garden, and they've been lasting over a week as cut flowers indoors.

The bulbs arrived firm and healthy, and three of the five have already sent up strong green shoots after just two weeks in the ground. Can't wait to see the deep burgundy blooms—the Karma variety is exactly the rich color I was hoping for.

Planted these along the back fence and every single bulb sprouted within three weeks. The stems are tall enough that I've been cutting them for indoor vases all summer, which is exactly why I wanted gladioli in the first place.
