Key Planting Tips

Plant gladiolus 4" deep with an amended soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. Or plant with a finished compost. 

Stagger your planting every 2 weeks so you can enjoy blooms continuously all summer. 

To lift and store for winter, simply go dig up corms after the foliage has faeded to yellow/brown.  Separate the mother corm and compost/dispose and most of the time you will have two new corms.  We sepearate those usually when we dig them up after we hose them off.  Dry in a single layer out of the sun for a 10-14 days then we simply place in netting or crates for winter. They are not stored with any medium - this is partly why Grandma loved them so much.
