Gladiolus Fidelio 5 Flower bulbs

Product information

Gladioli are stunning summer plants providing height and structure with their long stems, best planted in groups for bold impact. Can also be used as cut flowers.

• Planting location: Beds, borders or in patio pots
• Soil moisture: Moist & well drained, Soil pH: Any
• Flowering period: July - September, Planting period: March - May
• Plant in a sunny/shaded spot. Dig soil improver and bonemeal into the planting hole before planting. In heavy clay soils add horticultural grit to the bottom of the planting hole. Do not attempt to plant these bulbs if the ground is frozen or during freezing conditions. Remove faded flowers to prolong flowering. Water well during dry spells. When the foliage has died back, usually after the first frost, cut stems back to 5cm above soil level. Not winter hardy. To over-winter, dig up the corms and store them in a cool, dry and frost-free place. Replant in the same way next year.
