Gladioli Bulbs, Perennial Root

Grow To 36" Tall: Fresh 10-12 CM Bulb Stock For 2023 This gladiolus variety can be grown in all zones, though in zones lower than 7, the bulbs will need to be dug up and stored over the winter. They are easy to grow and care for, thriving best in full sun with nice, well-composted yet well-drained soil.

Continuous Color With Summer Plantings For a vibrant, ongoing display of color throughout the growing season, gardeners are encouraged to plant additional bulbs at intervals during the summer months. This will create waves of blooms for an extended period.

Annual Planting Preferred, But Overwintering Possible Many gardeners opt to treat gladioli as annuals, planting fresh bulbs each year. While it is not overly difficult to preserve the bulbs by digging them up in the autumn, some may find this process cumbersome.

Proper Corm Storage for Overwintering For those who do wish to overwinter the gladiolus corms, there are a few key steps to ensure their successful preservation: - Place the corms in cardboard boxes, cloth bags, mesh onion bags, or paper sacks - Store the corms in a dark, dry, cool, and well-ventilated location such as a shed, garage, or basement - Maintain cool temperatures, ensuring the corms never freeze

This easy storage method will allow the corms to be replanted the following growing season, providing a head start on the season's colorful blooms.

In summary, this gladiolus variety is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking bold, towering flowers that can be enjoyed throughout the summer. Whether grown as annuals with fresh plantings each year or overwintered for a multi-year display, these 10-12 cm bulbs are sure to deliver vibrant color and easy care in the garden.
