Lovely blooms! Nice fragrance
Verified Buyer
Nice, healthy bulbs. They still bloomed even though I planted them.late.
Updating to 5 stars!
I originally gave these just 4 stars because only 2 bloomed in the first year, but I didn't realize the spread of bloom time! An additional 15 bulbs went on to produce flower stalks, and the blooms have now spanned 8 weeks! They're very tall and elegant and nice addition to my garden.

Verified Buyer

Dazzling charm!
Verified Buyer
One of the easiest glads to grow and enjoy!
Healthy looking growth, only a couple flowers
The bulbs arrived in good condition, and all but one came up, despite the fact that I didn't get a chance to plant them until 6 weeks later. The foliage is a beautiful deep green and grew in strong and healthy, with many of plants hitting over 4 foot tall (a bit taller than anticipated). I did add some light supports after some of the leaves got partially bent during a storm. Only two of the bulbs have flowered, which I attribute to the late planting and the fact that it's their first year. However, the flowers are beautiful and elegant - fingers crossed for more next year!
Very sad about this
Verified Buyer
Sadly, none of these bloomed this year; I bought them a couple of years ago and they were fantastic, but no idea why it was different this year.
