Grew perfect and easily.
Plum Summer
These bulbs came in at a perfect planting time, and the planting was a great success(my opinion). When they blossomed, Wow! These are really beautiful...and being this was the first time I ever planted anything! My wife really loved them! The whole summer I had her kitchen vase filled with these Plum Glads!
Beautiful in my garden
I bought this as Plum Tart. The picture is not like advertised but nonetheless it is a beautiful gladiolus. The purple is different every couple of days. Love it.
A Lot of crinkled up blooms
Verified Buyer
A LOT of substandard blooms
Disappointed
Verified Buyer
Sadly I must have been sent something else because they are very orange, purple, and white. Not one plum tart.
Beautiful. Lots of great comments.
Verified Buyer
These look dark pink but in reality they are purple
Worth the seconds to plant
Verified Buyer
Beautiful blooms easy to grow.
Not a single one bloomed.

Not a single one bloomed.
One of my favorite glads.
I buy from Van Bourgondien for more then 10 years. I bought this glad multiple times, last time in 2020. They used to have correct picture of PlumTart gladiolus, but several years ago they switched it to the former picture of Glamini Kate and used new picture for Kate. They still send out the true PlumTart, that is full size luxurious solid deep magenta, no white center. It is one of everyone's favorite glads, goes best with BananaRama (discontinued). Bulbs are always very small compare to other varieties, but they produce full size flowers. Bulbs get bigger every year until thrips destroy them eventually. Sorry, I am not big on taking pictures.

Showing 1 out of 1 Questions
- Q
Your picture for Plum Tart gladiolus is a picture of Priscilla, not Plum Tart. Which are you selling, Plum Tart or Priscilla? Will people get what's in the picture? If so, it's probably OK. But if you show them Priscilla and ship them Plum Tart, they might not like that so well.
- Asked by Lance
- Verified Reply - KimberlyThe Plum Tart Gladiolus is what we are selling and what is pictured. Eye-catching Gladiolus ‘Priscilla’ is easy to love, the pure white, heavily ruffled flowers are outlined in dark pink and have yellow highlights at the center. Was this answer helpful to you
