Description
DeepL TranslateGladioli are stunning summer plants providing height and structure with their long stems, best planted in groups for bold impact. Can also be used as cut flowers.
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.
Features and benefits
Gladioli are a great choice for providing structure in beds and borders, also perfect as cut flowers.
Planting these bulbs in the Spring will guarantee colour and flower power throughout the summer for years to come.
