Garden tips advise weekly gladiolus planting through June to ensure summer blooms. Bulbs flower in 80 days, with late plantings for early summer color as spring annuals fade. Plants grow upright with minimal leaf droop and thrive in good soil. Space rows six inches apart, three to five inches deep, apply fertilizer in two bands, and weekly DDT spraying from six inches tall to counter gladiolus thrips. Regular deep watering finishes the care.
The gladioli display a wide color range with pink favorites and notable gains in white varieties. Recent seasons have brought improvements and multiple prizes at gladiolus shows.
