Organic Gladioli planting instructions:

• All gladioli are easy to grow. As soon as the soil has warmed up in March or April, plant the corms 15cm deep, 15cm apart.
• Gladioli grow to about 90cm in height, they are therefore suited to the back of herbaceous borders.
• A sheltered sunny spot is ideal.
• Avoid poor and water logged soils.
• Prepare the soil by adding compost, manure or an NPK fertilizer.
• Gladioli need plenty of water to flower well so adding plant matter to the site will aid water retention.
• Plants may need staking.
• Decorative grasses make good companion plants – ie barley . As soon as the flowers appear and until at least three weeks after flowering, apply a high-potash feed every two weeks.
• When the plants have died back, cover the corms with plenty of leaf mould or compost to protect them from winter frosts.
• You should divide the clumps every few years to select the best corms for replanting. . If you don’t divide your gladioli you will have large clumps of leaves and very few flowers.
