Adrenalin Gladiolus Corms

Towering spikes adorned with pink coloured gladiolus flowers.

Flowers in: 80 to 100 days.

Plant height: 45'' to 55''.

• Gladiolus grow from corms into unbranched longitudinal leaves enclosed in a sheath and inflorescences that bear one to several flowers. 
• The spectacular colourful giant flower spikes of gladioli cultivars is the result of centuries of extensive hybridization and selection.
• Gladiolus is propagated from cormlets offset by the parent corm and from seed, both of which take several years to grow to flowering size.
• Gladioli grow naturally in warm climates, dig up clumps and divide every few years to keep the plants vigorous.
• In temperate climates, the corms must be lifted in autumn once the leaves dry out and stored in a frost free place to be replanted in spring.
• Subsequent plantings every two weeks in cold zones will ensure a longer availability of gladiolus flowers.
• Plant gladiolus corms 3'' to 5'' deep, 4'' to 6'' apart, in rows spaced 12'' to 36'' far.
• Hill soil 6'' up around the stalk before the plants blooms to prevent gladiolus from tipping over.
• Grow in full sun.
• Gladiolus makes excellent cut flowers with tall stems.
