Planting Guide

Plant Fidelo Gladiolus bulbs outdoors in spring after frost danger has passed. Set bulbs 4–6 inches apart and 4–6 inches deep, placing the pointed end up. A sunny location with loose, well-draining soil is best, and bulbs appreciate consistently moist soil during the growing season.

For nonstop summer color, stagger plantings every two weeks. Plants grow 3–5 feet tall and may need staking in windy conditions. Expect flowers about 10–12 weeks after planting, lasting from midsummer into early fall.

Ongoing Care

• Stake tall stems if needed to prevent bending or breakage.
• Snip off faded flowers to keep plants looking neat and blooming longer.
• In colder regions (zones below 8), lift bulbs after the first frost. Allow them to dry, then store in a cool, dry place until replanting in spring.

Container Growing

• Select a container at least 12 inches deep with drainage holes.
• Plant bulbs in a lightweight, well-draining potting mix at a depth of 4–6 inches.
• Water regularly and fertilize as needed, just as you would for garden plantings.
