Van Zyverden Gladiolus Blend

Plant these bulbs in the spring once the soil has warmed up and all danger of frost has completely passed. Gladiolus are tender bulbs and will not survive freezing temperatures.

For best results, plant the bulbs about 4 to 6 inches deep and space them 6 to 8 inches apart. This spacing allows enough room for the foliage to develop while ensuring the flowers create a dense, full display.

Yes, Gladiolus can grow quite tall and may become top-heavy when in full bloom. It is a good idea to stake them or plant them in a sheltered area protected from strong winds to prevent them from falling over.

Gladiolus are generally considered tender perennials. In warmer climates (USDA zones 8-10), they can often be left in the ground, but in colder regions, you will need to dig up the corms in the fall and store them indoors over the winter.

These bulbs thrive in full sun, meaning they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Planting them in a sunny spot is essential for strong stems and vibrant, healthy blooms.
