How great is it to have a gladiolus you don't have to dig up in the fall? They are growing as we speak. Can't wait to see their blooms. Pictures are pretty.

I am in zone 7B. The quality of the bulbs are very good. I planted them in June & all of them have taken root and are growing well. A few started blooming this week (late August). They look pretty. But the blooms are pink-not red as specified in the description. I am disappointed with that. I bought these bulbs only because I wanted to add some reds to my garden. And that is the reason why I am giving 4 stars.

Planted these in May and blooms started in July. They are stunning! And being perennial makes them even more amazing.
