Description / Gladiolus 'Circus Color' Bulbs
'Circus Color' is a large-flowering gladiolus that brings bold, festive color to the summer garden. Standing 36 to 48 inches tall, its vivid yellow and blue flower spikes soar above sword-like leaves, creating a lively and eye-catching display. These cheerful blooms attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, making 'Circus Color' a great choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. Its vibrant flowers also shine in cut arrangements, adding dynamic flair to any bouquet.
A Gladiolus x hortulanus variety, also known as gladiolus, sword lilies, or glads, 'Circus Color' is a tender perennial in Zones 7-10. Plant bulbs in clusters or groups in garden beds, borders, containers, or cutting gardens for the best effect. In breezy areas, taller plants may need staking for support.
'Circus Color' is easy to grow and thrives in full sun to partial shade with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. If your soil is sandy or clay-heavy, amend it with organic materials like bark or peat moss to improve water retention and drainage. Fertilize sparingly after planting and again in summer to encourage healthy growth and blooming. Water thoroughly during planting and regularly throughout the season to keep roots well-hydrated. Add a mulch layer to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Plant bulbs in warm spring soil after frost danger has passed, spacing them 4 to 6 inches apart and planting them 4 to 6 inches deep. For continuous blooms, stagger plantings every two weeks during the season. After flowering, let the foliage grow until it browns or frost threatens. Lift, clean, and store the corms in a cool, dry place (40-50°F) for winter.
