Top Tip
Cut Sword Lily flowers early in the morning when the lower buds are just opening for the longest vase life.
How to Water
Water young Gladioli shoots regularly as they begin to grow, keeping the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. During warm, dry spells, give them a deeper soak to help the tall stems stay strong and support their developing flower spikes.
How to Plant
Plant Gladioli corms in well‑drained soil once the ground begins to warm, setting them a few inches deep in a sunny, sheltered spot. Group them closely so the tall stems can rise with support, then water lightly to help them settle and begin growing.
