Product information
Gladioli help create beautiful summer displays, with their statuesque habit and flamboyant blooms they are ideal for giving height to beds and borders. Plant in groups for maximum effect. A florist’s favourite, its great for cut flower use.
- Soil moisture: Moist & well drained, Soil pH: Any
- Flowering period: July - September, Planting period: March - May
- Plant in a sunny/shaded spot. Dig soil improver and bonemeal into the planting hole before planting. In heavy clay soils add horticultural grit to the bottom of the planting hole. Do not attempt to plant these bulbs if the ground is frozen or during freezing conditions. Remove faded flowers to prolong flowering. Water well during dry spells. When the foliage has died back, usually after the first frost, cut stems back to 5cm above soil level. Not winter hardy. To over-winter, dig up the corms and store them in a cool, dry and frost-free place. Replant in the same way next year.
