Gladiolus Priscilla produces colorful blossoms along tall stems, adding vertical structure to the back of a flower border as well as flowers for cutting. The corms perform best in full sun and well-drained soil.
Planting them deeply can help the stems stand upright; they can also be supported by sturdy neighboring plants such as cannas. Some plants may need staking, especially where wind or heavy blooms cause them to lean.
