Gladiolus communis
EASTERN GLADIOLUS
- Unit price
- / per
This hardy perennial is native to parts of Northern Africa, Southern Europe and Western Asia. Grows well in well-drained soils. Makes for a great cut-flower, blooming from June to July. In colder climates, corms can be dug up and stored in a cool dry area and replanted in the Spring once the last chance of frost has passed.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 5-10
Height: 32", 80cm
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 15
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
