This is not a difficult plant to grow, but you will need to know a few things about them before adding them to your garden. Some of the most considerations for their care include:

When to Plant Them – Early spring is thebest time to grow. Spacing – To make sure that these plants grow properly, you are going to want to plant them about six inches from each other .With bigger corms, you will need to go a little deeper into the soil.
Soil – Well-drained soil is going to be best for this plant; in fact, sandy soil is preferred by me.
Water Requirements – Gladiolus plants like moist soil .To help maintain moisture in the soil, you can place two to three inches of mulch at the base of the plant.
Lighting – They tend to grow best in full sun.
Stalking the Plant – These plants can grow to be about four to five feet tall, so they will need to be stalked so that they do not fall over as they grow.
