Gladiolus (Gladiolus x 'Tiny Tot Gladiolus Mix') - Description

A mini version of garden stand-bys, bright colors and attractively marked. Excellent fillers for low borders, beds and for cutting.

Gladiolus (Gladiolus x 'Tiny Tot Gladiolus Mix') - Blooming

For best flowering, it is important to treat your corms with TLC during the whole year.

Gladiolus (Gladiolus x 'Tiny Tot Gladiolus Mix') - Growth

Grow in full sun. They do not do well when the roots are crowded by other plants or a building foundation. If there is any danger of freeze in the winter, dig them up at the end of the growing season and dry, treat for insects if needed, and store in a frost-free, cool, location. Remove cormlets at this time.

Plant corms of tender glads in spring as deep as four times their size. Hardy glads, including G. communis, can be planted in spring or fall. Gladiolus will produce more corms, and should be planted about 7" apart for the largest corms. Plant a handful of corms at a time and once per week to see color all season long.
