I purchased these for my mother since she loves a variety of colors in her flower beds. These are healthy bulbs and can be planted as soon as they arrive. I will purchase more in the future.

Best place to buy glads!

My Super Pack Gladiolus came up quickly everywhere I planted them in my yard. We pour miracle grow ground soil in the spot we want to plant them and bury the bulbs at their proper depth. Thank you, Holland Bulbs for a great growing season!

It had been a year since I last planted and after I had a negative experience I addressed it with HBF. Their adjustments were fair and customer oriented. However, I am old and often forgetful and I made the same mistake this year. I put the bulbs in water before planting and I consider the "sinkers" good ones. However, I planted the "floaters" last. It is sort of a "wait and see" on the "floaters". I realize too, that when I order at the end of the season with significant discounts, I can expect a 100% bloom rate. My "sinkers" are doing very well. I do have green stalks on the "floaters" and hoping to get some blooms. Overall, I am satisfied with HBF, just satisfied withe ME.

However, I planted the "sinkers" first and the "floaters" last. It is sort of a "wait and see." I realize too, that when I order at the end of the season with significant discounts, I can't expect a 100% bloom rate. My "sinkers" are doing very well. I do have green stalks on the "floaters" and hoping to get some blooms. Overall, I am satisfied with HBF, just NOT satisfied with ME. (I have "proofed" this review. My previous review on "mixed glads" should have read the same.)
