Old Fashion Byzantine Gladiolus

Fuschia flags wave proudly in May. The color looks very modern, but this old-fashioned bulb adorns abandoned fields and homesites with timeless beauty. Byzantine Glads have thrived for generations, their sword-like leaves heralding stunning blooms that captivate throughout summer.

The secret to longevity is adaptability to dry conditions and tight soils. Find a dry, tough place. They’ll thrive in full sun or even under shade trees like pecans. 

Stagger your planting every two weeks for continuous blooms all summer, or plant in July for a breathtaking late-summer finale. Unlike modern glads, they stand tall without pampering.

Add a touch of history and resilience to your garden. Watch as they paint your landscape with vibrant fuschia hues, creating an enchanting scene that tells a story of enduring elegance.
