About This Variety: This striking Gladiolus Blend consists of two unique
Gladiolus varieties; My Love and Plum Tart.
Perfectly blended they make for a stunning picture perfect display. Great
garden accent and color impact.
Growing Instructions: Plant Gladiolus in the spring after all danger of frost
has passed. Plant in a full sun to partially shaded location. Gladiolus loves
soil that is rich, porous and drains well but still holds enough water for
the roots. If your soil is heavy clay and drains slowly, or very sandy and
does not hold water, add organic soil amendments like peat moss or ground
bark. Spread a 3-4 inch layer of soil amendment if needed, add fertilizer and
incorporate into the soil to a depth of 10 inches. Plant in groups with corms
spaced 4-6” apart for the best show. Gladiolus corms should be planted 4-6”
deep. Water thoroughly at planting. Water regularly while growing and in bloom
so that water will reach the roots. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to
prevent the soil from drying out. After planting, fertilize sparingly on top
of ground with any good plant food. A repeat application should be made in
summer. Must be staked if planted in windy areas. After blooming, let corms
grow until plants have turned brown or until danger of frost. Dig, dry, clean
and store in a dry, cool place at 40-50ºF to over winter.
Care Tip: Plant Gladiolus corms in groups of 10 or more for a dramatic garden
display. Soil should be kept moist during dry periods.
