Oh, you are so lucky, Andrea but first... where are you going to store 700 of them for the winter? What a nice problem to have. Remember not to store them in a refridgerator with fruits and vegetables. It will ruin the glads by spring. I am new to glads myself but I really like them. I plant mine like tulips; 3, 5 or 7 all in one hole. That way they grow like tulips - in a patch, although, they look more like iris coming up. I find patches makes it easier to stake them too. I can just use a peony ring or tomatoe cage. I am not that fond of staking. Since glads bloom later in the season and last to frost, you can put them all through the garden just like spring bulbs. It makes it easier to lift them if they are planted together in big patches or in rows but I don't have enough to worry about that yet. I put them throughout my garden and have no trouble rounding them all up when it is time to lift in fall. If I had 700 though, I might consider using them for a border or even in a wavy line through the middle of the bed or border. Enjoy your glads and post photographs next season, I'd love to see them.
