The present experiments were conducted with twenty-eight gladiolus hybrids along with check at the research farm of the Division of Floriculture & Landscaping, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during the year 2021-22 to study the gladiolus hybrids for commercial traits and their performance and suitability for commercialization and profitability. The mean performance of gladiolus hybrids data were highly significant for all the traits studied. The results indicated that early flowering was observed in hybrids such as Chandni x Snow Princess, P-16-1 x Eurovision, Melody Open Seedlings and High Hopes Open Seedlings and its range was from 76.00 – 88.33 days after planting, whereas, late flowering was observed in hybrids such as Rose Time Steam Boat x GreenWillow (114.66 day), Swarnima x Viola (111.00 day) and Candyman x Anjali (107.00 day) respectively. Maximum plant height 145.33 cm, 133.00 cm, 131.33 cm, 131.00 cm and 130.66 cm were recorded in Green Pasture x Regency, Smokey Lady x HeadyWine, Salmon Queen Open Seedlings, Canada x GreenWillow and American Beauty x GreenWillow respectively. Number of florets per spike more than 19 was received in hybrid AVE x Mayur, Vidushi Mutant, Mayur x Howard, Pearl Beauty x Lucky Shamrock, Mayur x GreenWillow and Green Lilac Open Seedlings respectively. Maximum number of corms per plant was seen in many hybrids such as Smokey Lady x Oscar, Chandni x Snow Princess, Vidushi Mutant, Canada x GreenWillow, Candyman x Anjali, Salmon Queen Open Seedlings and Melody Open Seedlings respectively as compare to remaining hybrids and check. Hybrids Smokey Lady x HeadyWine, Vidushi Mutant and Canada x GreenWillow had produced maximum number of cormels as 77.33, 74.66, and 72.00 respectively as compare to other hybrids.
