Planting/Growing Information

Select an area in the garden, a bed, or border that receives full sun and where the soil is sandy, well-drained, and rich in organic matter.  Gladiolus planted in straight rows tend to look like soldiers, which is perfect for a cutting garden.  However, for a more natural look they should be planted in holes that are round or oval shaped.  Dig a hole 8″ deep and add bulb-boosting fertilizer following the directions on the package.  Compost may be added to enrich the soil if needed.  Cover the fertilizer/compost with 2″ of soil and place the bulbs with the pointy end facing up 6″ apart.  Gladiolus look best when 10-12 bulbs are planted in the same area.  Cover the bulbs with the remaining soil and water well.  Cover the area with 2″ of mulch to keep the bulbs cool.  Gladiolus bloom 70-100 days after planting.  To enjoy flowering throughout the season, plant bulbs 2 weeks apart.
