How, Where and When Do I Plant Gladiolus Corms?

Indoor pre-growth

The 'Piet Mohlen' 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, 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 15 cm. The tubers can be planted up to and including June.

Location

Gladioli grow best in a sunny spot in well-drained, nutritious loam or sandy soil. In clay soil, it is recommended 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."
