Tips on growing gladiolus
Filed Under FLOWERS, Gladiolus, HOME & GARDEN | Leave a Comment
We have been planting some gladioli today so let’s share my secret tips on growing gladiolus.
Yes, for those wanting to know when to plant gladiolus: you can still plant gladiolus these days like NOW!
In fact it all depends on your gladiolus flower bulbs: some gladioli flower after 75 days of planting, the late varieties will flower after 100 days: that’s 3 months and 10 days.
If you plant your gladiolus bulb corms today, these will flower the latest the 1st of September. How mathematical is that… 
To have a continuous supply of gladiolus cut production, we keep on planting gladiolus bulbs every 7 to 14 days. Don’t you just love gladiolus arrangements in vases? Well, I surely do!
Gladiolus arrangement in the garden is pretty easy: they more or less grow straight so where-ever you plant one, you will get one gladiolus bulb plant. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
Gladiolus care is easy: once in the ground you can more or less forget about them: their flowers will remind you that you did a good planting job!
Caring for gladiolus
There is nothing easier than how to grow gladiolus flowers as far as I am concerned I love to plant bulbs when the weather is as nice as it is now in May.
- Gladiolus planting should happen on not too heavy nor to acid soil.
- Make sure the are in the sun and out of the wind or heavy rain.
- Make also sure to replant your gladioli on a different spot than last year. If that’s not practical, than remove some soil from one place of your garden to where you want your gladioli to grow again this year.
So far for how we do it, please leave a comment if you have more tips on growing gladiolus!
