Organic Gladiolus 'Karma' | 7 pcs.

Organic Salmon Pink Gladioli

The Gladiolus 'Karma' is a stylish gladiolus with soft, salmon pink flowers that gives a warm, natural look to the garden. This gladiolus reaches a height of approximately 120 centimeters and blooms in the summer months with a beautiful row of flowers along the straight, sturdy stems. Due to the soft shade, the 'Karma' is easy to combine with other plants and flowers in borders or bouquets. The leaves are narrow and sword-shaped, typical of gladioli, and add structure to the plant.

How, Where and When Do I Plant Gladiolus Corms?

Indoor pre-growth

The 'Karma' is not winter hardy. From March the tubers can be grown indoors for an early flowering. After the Ice Saints (15 May) the plants can go outside, or earlier if the weather is good. Watch out for night frost; bring them inside at night if necessary.

Outside in the Garden

Plant the tubers after the frost period, preferably from 15 May. The planting depth is 2 to 3 times the height of the tuber (approximately 15 cm deep), with a planting distance of 2 to 3 times the width of the tuber. The tubers can be planted up to and including June.

Location

Gladioli like to be in a sunny spot in well-drained, nutritious loam or sandy soil. In the case of clay soil, it is advisable to add organic material. Plant the gladioli in a sheltered spot to protect them from the wind.

Care

Water regularly during the growth and flowering phase so that the plants do not dry out. After flowering, the leaves die off completely. Remove the corms from the ground before the frost and store them in a dry, frost-free place. Gladioli are perennial, but to prevent soil fungi, it is wise to plant the corms in a different place every year.

Propagation

Gladioli reproduce underground by small bulbils. These can be discarded or replanted. Large corms that have split can be planted separately for new plants.

Origin

The sword lily is native to South Africa and belongs to the iris family ( Iridaceae ). The name Gladiolus is derived from the Latin word "gladius," meaning "sword."
