The gladiolus belongs in every garden. Here you can find out what you should consider when planting gladioli.
Plant gladioli best in groups
Gladioli come into their own when you plant the flowers in groups. Planting distances of 10 to 15 centimeters are ideal. The disadvantage of these flowers is that the flowering period is often very short. Two weeks is often the maximum for gladioli. After that, the bed becomes unsightly. If you want the gladioli to bloom longer than your neighbor's garden, you only need to use a small and simple trick.
Planting gladiolus - our tip
You will not achieve that the plants will flower for longer, but if you plant the bulbs at a later time, you will achieve that the flowers are in bloom all summer long. That means you should start planting the bulbs in mid-May. And then plant again and again at intervals of one and a half to two weeks until the end of June or beginning of July. The first gladioli bloom in early August and flowering can be delayed until mid or late September. So, if you follow this simple tip, you can enjoy the beauty of gladioli all summer long.
