Description
Gladiolus, cultivated from corms or bulbs, are prized perennials admired by gardeners for their impressive floral display. Often referred to as the Queen of bulbous flowers, these plants produce tall stems ranging from 90 to 120 cm (3 to 4 feet) in height. Their large, ruffled blooms measure between 10 and 15 cm and typically appear 80 to 90 days after planting, making them a striking addition to any garden.
Gladiolus Mix features a vibrant collection of trumpet-shaped flowers in an assortment of deep colors such as red, pink, yellow, white, orange, and purple. Supported by sturdy stems, these striking blooms are ideal for enhancing garden aesthetics and creating elegant cut flower bouquets.
Gladiolus Mix bulbs bring vibrant spikes in many colors, brightening summer gardens and bouquets. Flowers Nov–Feb (plains), Dec–Mar (hills). Plant Aug–Oct (plains) or Aug–Sep (hills)
Environment
Gladiolus bulbs perform best in well-drained sandy-loam soil rich in organic matter, with full sun exposure for a minimum of 5 to 6 hours daily. Water moderately—apply thoroughly after planting, then maintain consistent moisture without causing waterlogging. Space corms 10 to 15 cm apart and plant them 5 to 8 cm deep for optimal development. Apply a balanced fertilizer, such as 10:10:10 NPK, at planting, then reapply when flower spikes emerge and again during blooming. Avoid overusing nitrogen, as it promotes foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
