Their comparative case of culture makes them a welcome addition to most gardens.
Glads lend themselves to planting in rows or beds, in borders, and among shrubbery or flowers.
Some of the smaller types are desirable in rock gardens. Varieties should be selected with different blooming dates and planting should be staggered to lengthen the flowering season. Glads will grow in most all garden soil but a sandy loam is most desirable. If the soil is of a heavy clay nature, sand or peat should be added. Prior to planting, spade the soil at least 12 inches deep, making it easier for the fast growing roots to spread out.
