Plant Information
Top Tips
Which way up? Pointy end up, but if you're unsure, plant on their side and they wil right themselves.
Care Guide
- Plant 10 to 15cm (4-6in) deep in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun with a little grit or sharp sand added to improved drainage.
- Gladioli need plenty of water to flower well, so if you can, dig in well-rotted manure or compost to the soil before planting, which will help retain water.
- Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
- Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
- They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they’ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
- While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
- If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.

Despite promise of 14 day delivery it was nearly a month. Also took several days to respond to email checking on delivery status. Products OK when delivered but gladioli bulbs in June is rather late for planting.

Delivery took a lot longer than expected; I don?t mind but giving some idea/window of time would be good. Also 2 of the 3 plants were a lot smaller than expected. However this is my 2nd order and all the plants I?ve bought are surviving, so they seem to be good quality. Packed well but less plastic would be better.

Good value, healthy bulbs

I saw them on offer, only had to pay for the postage, and it made me decide, I wanted to have flowers in my garden, which I haven't had for years, I have ordered some bedding plants now to complement the gladiolus
