The Jacksonville Gold, 'Gladiolus Jacksonville Gold', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificient yellow flowers on tall stalks. Gladiolas are also commonly called Sword Lily or Corn Flag. They make striking accents in a mixed border. 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.
