Know before you buy
To enjoy flowers from mid-summer into fall, plant your bulbs in staggered groups every two weeks starting in late spring. This succession planting method ensures that new spikes emerge as earlier ones finish.
Yes, because these plants grow between 42 and 60 inches tall, the flower spikes can become top-heavy. It is recommended to stake them or plant them in a sheltered area to prevent them from leaning or snapping in high winds.
Absolutely. Gladiolus perform well in large containers, provided the pot has adequate drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 5-6 inch planting depth. Ensure the container is placed in a location that receives full sun.
These bulbs are hardy in USDA zones 8-10. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the corms in the fall after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter to replant the following spring.
For the most visually striking display, plant the bulbs in groups of at least 5 to 10. Spacing them 5-6 inches apart allows for proper airflow while creating a dense, colorful impact when they bloom.
