FIREDANCE, 1968        Rarest
Looking more like a cymbidium orchid from the wilds of Borneo than an ordinary glad from your own backyard, this tiny, ruffled beauty is a luscious peachy-orange that’s splashed with gold and richly speckled with cayenne pepper. Wow! Small-flowered, 3 feet, from Maine. Chart to compare.

FRIENDSHIP, 1949        Web-Only
This landmark pink has won every prize there is for glads, and 60-some years after it first bloomed for the legendary Carl Fischer it’s still considered world-class. Frosty pink with a luminous throat, it’s refreshingly cool and exceptionally healthy. 4 feet, from Holland. Chart to compare.

GREEN LACE, 1961        Rarest
No matter how hard we try, we can never seem to capture the soft, juicy spring green of this small-flowered glad in a photo — so you’re just going to have to grow it yourself to see how wonderful it is. Daintily ruffled and cute as a button, it always draws ooos and ahhs in the garden and makes every bouquet more interesting. 3-4 feet, proudly grown in our Ann Arbor micro-farms. Chart to compare.
SGL47Add to basket:3/$11.505/$18.5010/$3425/$77.5050/$144
KAKAGA, 1962        Web-Only & Rarest
Yoda’s favorite glad? With its flaring side petals, this exotic little glad may at least remind you of that big-eared Jedi master. A bit larger than ‘Atom’, it’s a brilliant paprika-orange splashed with gold and absolutely dazzling. As for its name, if you know what it means, please let us know! Small-flowered, 3-4 feet, from Maine and Michigan. Chart to compare.
SGL56Add to basket:1/$63/$16.505/$2610/$4825/$108
LA CORUNA, 1957        Web-Only & Rarest
With velvety petals of an incredibly dark, intense ruby shaded with burgundy and smoke, this 50-something glad is still turning heads. Order early — it always sells out early! 3-4 feet, from Maine and Michigan. Chart to compare.
SGL54Add to basket:1/$7.503/$20.505/$32.50Limit 5, please.
LILAC & CHARTREUSE, 1960        Rarest
From the decade that brought us paisley shirts, black-light posters, and Sergeant Pepper comes this weirdly wonderful glad of ruffled, lavender florets splashed with pale chartreuse. And you don’t have to be a hippie to enjoy it! 3-4 feet, from Michigan. Chart to compare.
SGL46Add to basket:1/$4.503/$12.505/$19.5010/$3625/$81
LUCKY STAR, 1966        Rarest
Fragrance in glads is as rare as hen’s teeth. Although a few wild ones have it, breeding it into modern glads has proved difficult. In fact, ‘Lucky Star’ was the only fragrant seedling to come from many years of crosses made by New Zealander Joan Wright using garden glads and the even more fragrant Abyssinian glad. Its bold, angular good looks are a bonus, and night-flying hawk moths love it. 4 feet, from Maine and Michigan. Chart to compare.
SGL43Add to basket:3/$12.505/$2010/$3725/$84.5050/$156
MELODIE, 1955        Web-Only & Rarest
As featured in both Garden Gate and The Old-House Journal! Small-flowered and richly patterned, this little gem is very much like the rococo glads of the late 1800s. Rosy-peach with a blaze of scarlet and gold – one stem in a bud vase is all you’ll need. 3 feet, from Maine. Chart to compare.
SGL18Add to basket:3/$9.505/$1510/$2825/$6450/$119
MEXICANA, 1967        Rarest
This complex, exuberant glad is a soft, spring green blended with cream-to-gold and richly feathered at the throat with crimson. Wildly ruffled — like skirts swirling at a fiesta — ¡Olé! 4 feet, from Maine and the Goetz family's centennial farm in Riga, Michigan. Chart to compare.
SGL19Add to basket:3/$11.505/$18.5010/$3425/$77.5050/$144
SPIC AND SPAN, 1946
This luscious coral glad is named for the popular household cleanser that dates back to Depression days. It’s the top blue-ribbon winning glad of all time and a personal favorite of our good customer and celebrated Atlanta garden designer, Ryan Gainey. 4 feet, Holland. Chart to compare.
