Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Plant Gladiolus seeds or corms in early spring, after the last frost, when the soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C).
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant the corms about 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm) deep in the soil to ensure good root development.
- Spacing: Space the corms 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) apart to give the plants room to grow and bloom.
- Soil Requirements: Gladiolus thrive in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Add organic matter or compost to enrich the soil.
- Sunlight: Choose a location that receives full sun, with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day to ensure healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Gladiolus prefer moist but well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging, as gladiolus are susceptible to root rot in overly saturated soil.
Fertilization
- Feed the plants with a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy foliage and strong, vibrant blooms. Organic compost can also be used to provide nutrients.
Staking
- Gladiolus plants may require staking, especially when they are in bloom. Their tall flower spikes can become top-heavy, particularly in windy areas. Use tall stakes to support the plants if necessary.
Deadheading
- Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms. Cut back the entire flower spike after it has finished blooming to maintain a tidy garden.
Harvesting
Cut Flowers: Gladiolus flowers make excellent cut flowers. Cut the flower spikes when the bottom flowers have fully opened, leaving the top buds to continue blooming in a vase.
Corm Harvesting: After the flowers have finished blooming in late fall, and the foliage begins to die back, dig up the corms. Clean them off and store them in a cool, dry place until next spring.
Storage
- Corm Storage: After harvesting the corms, store them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. You can place them in mesh bags or paper sacks to allow airflow and prevent mold from forming.
