Gladiolus is a genus of perennial cormous flowering plants in the iris family. It is sometimes called the 'sword lily', but is usually called by its generic name. The genus occurs in Asia, Mediterranean Europe, South Africa, and tropical Africa. The center of diversity is in the Cape Floristic Region. Wikipedia.
Gladiolus flowers last around a week, though they can last for two weeks. The lower buds open before the upper ones. This short flowering period is why many gardeners plant gladiolus corms in succession in spring and into summer, usually once every week or two, in order to get a continuous show.
2022 is the “Year of the Gladiolus.” Celebrate this classic perennial known for its tall flower spikes and large, colorful blooms! A great cutting flower, the gladiolus plant looks spectacular in summer bouquets.

Gladioli typically reach between 2 and 5 feet in height, sporting flowers that also range in size-from “miniature” blooms less than 3 inches in diameter to “giant” flowers greater than 5 inches across!
