Description
Gladiolus Espresso creates an amazing summer display of deep burgundy, almost black stalks of orchid-like blooms! Gladiolus are the perfect flower bulbs for gorgeous, long lasting cut flowers for summer bouquets and arrangements! Plant gladiolus in the spring after all danger of frost has passed in a full sun to partially shaded location in fertile, moist but well draining soil. Plant bulbs in groups of 10 or more. Soil preparation: The ideal soil is porous and drains well and yet still holds enough water for the roots. To plant: Dig a hole 4-6 inch deep in a well drained, partially sunny location that receives at least 4 hours of direct sun per day. Place the gladiolus bulbs in hole and space 4-6 inch apart. Cover with soil.
