Top Tips

Which way up? Pointy end up, but if you're unsure, plant on their side and they wil right themselves.

Care Information

Plant each bulb 10-15cm deep in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun with a little grit or sharp sand added to boost drainage.
Gladioli need plenty of water to flower well, so if you can, dig in well-rotted manure or compost to the soil before planting to help retain water.
Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times the width apart. For example, 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart from other bulbs.
They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they�ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
While all the energy needed to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise, potentially through grass for a great display.
If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.
Be sure to check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
