Mixed Gladioli Corms

Gladioli Planting Guide
Gladioli corms should be planted near the end of the seasons frost period.
The corm should be planted in moderately fertile, light, free draining soil. They prefer to be in full, direct sunlight.
Loosen the soil until 20cm deep then plant the corm at approximately 10cm deep with the point facing upwards, then cover well without compacting the soil on top. Adding compost or Blood and Bone fertiliser during its growth period can encourage healthier blooms if the soil is deficient.
They create more impact when planted in clusters of corms, about 10 cm apart, this will create a bright statement of colour in the garden.
Tall Gladiolus varieties may need extra support with stakes, but shorter varieties will perform fine without any. Keep the soil moist during periods of growth, this allows the flower to continue its flowering period.
At the end of the season, allow the stem to naturally die down before cutting it off at a finger length height.
