Gladiolus - Cheops
Increase water and fertility when flowers begin to develop, then plant 4" deep in clay soils, 6" deep in others; the deeper the planting the less need for staking. Gladiolus are also commonly called Sword Lily or Corn Flag. In frost prone areas, dig them when the leaves turn yellow, dip them in a fungicide, and store in a dry frost free location over winter. They make striking accents in a mixed border. To extend the time of flower availability of your Glads, plant in two week intervals from early spring through June. Plant in groups of six or more in the garden, or grow lots of them for cuttings in a bed. The Gladiolus Cheops, 'Gladioli', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent white flowers with a pink blush on tall stalks. Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil. ... more information
