I bought a bumper bargain bundle of glads and acidantheras together with some oxalis and liatris from Poundland. Three for the price of two, so I couldn't resist!
I planted them all in late June/early July. Results thus far: one clump of glads doing well (though they are all one colour -deep red) and only a couple of acidantheras are in flower. Only one liatris is in flower, but the other plants look healthy. The oxalis are spectacular - well worth the ground space!
It was a gamble, given how late it was in the season, but at least they haven't totally disappointed me. (I wouldn't normally bother with glads, but these are giving a late and welcome burst of colour).
