How to Plant and Care for Gladiolus Flower Seeds - Purple Feather Mix
Starting Seeds
To start Gladiolus Purple Feather Mix from seed, sow the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a sterile seed-starting mix and press the seeds gently into the soil. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). The seeds may take 2-4 weeks to germinate. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Transplanting Seedlings
When transplanting, select a location that receives full sun for most of the day. Gladiolus flowers prefer well-drained, fertile soil. Space the seedlings 6-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth. Ensure the soil is slightly acidic to neutral, and amend with compost to improve drainage and fertility.
Watering
Gladiolus flowers need consistently moist soil, especially during their blooming period. Be sure to water deeply to ensure the roots are properly hydrated, but avoid over-watering, as soggy soil can lead to root rot. Water at the base of the plants to keep the foliage dry.
Lighting
Gladiolus flowers thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. In shadier spots, they may produce fewer blooms and grow more slowly. Ensure they receive plenty of sunlight to encourage healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
Temperature
This variety of gladiolus is hardy in USDA zones 7-10, making it suitable for a variety of climates. In colder zones, gladiolus can be grown as annuals or overwintered indoors after the growing season.
Fertilizing
Fertilize gladiolus with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the start of the growing season. Apply a light application of fertilizer throughout the growing period, especially when the plants begin to produce flowers, to encourage strong blooms.
Pruning
After blooming, cut back the spent flower spikes to maintain the plant's appearance. For the best results in the following season, cut back the foliage in late fall or early winter once it has died back completely. If you're growing gladiolus as a perennial, you may dig up the corms and store them indoors during the winter months in colder climates.

The tall, elegant spikes of gladiolus flowers make them perfect for planting at the back of flower beds or along borders, where they can create a dramatic display.
