"One of the nicest pink glads we've seen!" That's what our Dutch garden pros said when they saw Karma Gladiolus up close. A new variety from renowned breeder, For Ever, it produces luxuriantly frilled blooms in a blend of fine pink tones. Each strong stem is filled with large buds that open to reveal flowers so big there is no space between them. Plus, 10 to 12 of these amazing blooms are open at a time, offering a glamorous look to back borders, foundation gardens and landscape plantings. We love to see these elegant glads set against a more rustic backdrop, such as a fence or barn wall. But your customers can plant them in any sunny spot and enjoy the color and beauty.
