Planting Guide

• Timing: Plant in spring after the last frost, once soil has warmed to about 55°F (13°C).
• Location: Choose a full-sun site with loose, well-drained soil.
• Preparation: Work compost or aged manure into the top 12 inches of soil for best results.
• Depth & Spacing: Plant corms 4–6 inches deep, pointed end up, and space 9–12 inches apart.
• Watering: Water thoroughly at planting, then provide about 1 inch of water weekly during active growth.

Ongoing Care

• Support: Tall stems may need staking; add stakes at planting time to avoid damage later.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) when shoots appear and again as flower spikes form.
• Mulching: Add a 2-inch mulch layer to lock in moisture and reduce weeds.
• Deadheading: Remove faded flowers to keep the display looking fresh.
• Winter care: In zones colder than 8, dig and store bulbs in a cool, dry place after foliage dies back. In warmer regions, leave them in the ground with a layer of mulch for protection.

Growing in Containers

White Prosperity Gladiolus can be grown successfully in deep pots (at least 12 inches). Use a nutrient-rich potting mix and provide stakes for tall stems as they develop. Container-grown plants are an excellent way to add height and elegance to patios, decks, or small gardens.
