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.
