Spring Bulbs Gladiolus - Oscar
Gladiolus Oscar The Gladiolus Oscar, 'Gladiolus Oscar', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent dark red flowers on tall stalks. Plant in groups of six or more in the garden, or grow lots of them for cuttings in a bed. To extend the time of flower availability of your Glads, plant in two week intervals from early spring through June. They make striking accents in a mixed border. Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil. Increase water and fertility when flowers begin to develop, then plant 4" deep in clay soils, 6" deep in others; the deeper the planting the less need for staking. In frost prone areas, dig them when the leaves turn yellow, dip them in a fungicide, and store in a dry frost free location over winter.

Peony Tree Shimane Island Collection The Shimane Island Tree Peony Collection, 'Paeonia', contains 3 plants, 1 each of High Noon, Koukamon, & Shima-nishiki. These Tree Peonies display huge, ruffled, satin-like flowers that are super hardy! Every garden needs a tree peony. We're not sure what the penalty was for infringing this law, but it can't have been very pleasant. There are very few plants that can compete with a tree peony in full bloom. A mature plant can have in excess of a hundred flowers and these can be 10" or more across! The flowers range in color from maroon, crimson, scarlet, various shades of pink, to pure white. Growing only 4-5' tall, these exceptional Tree Peonies are sub-zero hardy and bloom for a lifetime.
