Gladiolus

Plant corms 4–6 in deep in well-drained soil with the pointed end up after the last frost; succession plant every 2 weeks through midsummer for continuous cut flowers. Tall varieties need staking; a single bamboo cane tied loosely to the stem works well. In zones below 7, dig corms after frost blackens the foliage, dry for 2–3 weeks, remove offsets (cormels), and store at 35–45°F in mesh bags through winter. Harvest cut spikes when the lowest 2–3 buds show color for longest vase life. Спосіб посадки: Посадка цибулин Відстань між рослинами: 6–8 дюймів Висота: 36–60 дюймів
