Planting & Growing Instructions
Plant gladioli corms about 10-15cm deep and about 10-15cm apart. We recommend planting your Gladioli in a sunny position (full sun or partial sun is fine) in fertile well drained soil. Gladioli look fantastic planted in clumps. Planting can be done in succession from early March onwards to June at fortnightly intervals or autumn (September to December) This ensures a continuity of flowers throughout the summer months. When planting in a heavy soil, place some sand underneath each corm to help with drainage. Gladiolus will take 70-90 days to flower
Cultural Instructions
You can water regularly as the growth begins to appear and you can dead head when flowers begin to die off, though make sure to leave foliage to grow throughout the summer. Let the flowers die back naturally as this feeds the bulbs for next year.
Nanus Elvira is hardy but still needs thick mulch covering in extreme winter conditions and they will re appear next year
