Gladiolus, commonly known as Gladioli and Sword Lily are upright growing, easy to grow Summer flowering herbaceous perennial corm bulbs. These impactful upright growing plants loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies will flower between late June and early July growing to an incredible 100 and 120 cm in height, adding impact wherever planted.

These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds and garden borders or also in patio pots. Due to their taller nature they look great when planted in mixed flower displays along with Lilies, Dahlias, Begonias and Zinnias. Gladioli will continue to grow each year with little maintenance and can be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden. For Winter protection, mulch them deeply with 6-7cm of compost to give them insulation from late Autumn.

If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
