Care

Plant when danger of frost has passed and the ground has warmed.
Plant 2-3 times the depth of the bulb and 15cm/6” apart.
In well drained moist soil, in a sunny position.
Gladioli prefer to be in spaces where no other plants compete with them.
Water regularly as the growth begins to appear.
You can hill up the soil when plants are about 15cm/6” tall to help support the stems.
Dead head as necessary, but leave foliage.
Bulbs will winter in the ground if they are in a warm sheltered position.
If exposed and prone to cold conditions Gladioli will benefit from lifting and storing in a frost free location.
The smaller or mini varieties of Gladioli, such as nanus or colvillei are in general hardier than the larger variety.
Acidanthera, contrary to general belief, is not hardy and needs lifting and storing unless your own experience has proved different.
Gladioli can be planted as late as mid-July. It will take between 70-90 days form planting to flowering.
