Douglas Hunt on Feb 14, 2012Marvin, I think they're often planted in rows for use as cut flowers, but since you only have six I think around the mailbox sounds good. Give them a little slow-release fertilizer (5-10-10) when the plants are 6 to 8 inches tall, and again when the flower spikes begin to appear in the foliage.Helpful Reply

Erica Glasener on Feb 15, 2012Marvin, I wanted to let you know about a species glad called Gladiolus byzantinus, that dates back to 1629! It gets 2-3' high and has deep magenta blooms (if you like that color) you can get them from www.oldhousegardens.com a hardy perennial they won't need staking and come back year after year, I love mineHelpful Reply
