How to Plant Gladioli

Large flowering Gladioli and so called dwarf types, are lovely summer bulbs for the border.  They provide a lot of color from July until Fall. To be successful plant them at sunny locations in your garden. Preferably with some protection against wind.

Plant the bulbs in well prepared loosened soil by pressing the bulbs down into the soil and cover them with just 2-3 cm or so. Water well and give some support if needed.

Gladioli plants can grow up to 125 cm with ease, so some canes can be required.

Fertilise three weeks after planting with some organic fertiliser and with a compound fertiliser when the plants are about one Ft. tall.
