Red Gladiolus – Flower Bulb / Corm

Product Highlights

• Bloom colour: bright red.

• Useful for colourful seasonal flower arrangements.

Planting and Care

Plant the corm with the pointed growing tip facing upward in loose, fertile, well-draining soil. Follow the depth and spacing on the original packet for your conditions. Provide full sun or bright outdoor light. Keep the soil evenly moist while actively growing without letting water collect around the corm. Support tall flower spikes in exposed areas. Actual bloom time, height and performance depend on local weather and care.

🌱 Practical planting and care guide

Planting and position: Plant dormant bulbs or corms in open, well-draining soil. Use planting depth and spacing printed on the packet; orient the growing point upwards when identifiable.

Watering: Water once after planting, then as necessary during active growth. Keep soil moist rather than waterlogged and reduce watering during dormancy.

Possible problems: Inspect for bulb rot, mould and pest damage. Improve drainage, remove rotting bulbs and avoid storing bulbs in damp conditions.

Flowering or harvest: Allow healthy leaves to finish feeding the bulb after flowering before cutting them back. Flowering period and dormancy depend on species and climate.

Use packet-specific instructions for the exact variety, growing region and season. Natural germination and flowering vary.
