Planting gladioli
Plant the bulbs in moist soil 8-10 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart. You can plant as early as mid-autumn for early spring flowering (still protect the vegetation with dead leaves or straw) or in spring for late spring and summer flowering. Water regularly as the plant does not tolerate drought well. Don't hesitate to anticipate possible insect attacks (thrips, etc.) with a preventative treatment, especially as summer approaches.
