Earl Grey Gladiolus

The most beautiful colour of gladiolus I've ever seen! I grew these for the first time the summer of 2023 and now I can't imagine our farm without them.

Details:

Annual if left in the ground in colder zones. You can dig them up after the foliage has died back and save them for next season.

40" tall

Full Sun

Days to maturity: 80-100 days

Corms per package: 10

Planting: Plant 4–6 inches deep and space approximately 6 inches apart. Gladiolus thrive in full sun and produce the strongest stems and best blooms with at least 6 to 8 hours of light, though they will tolerate light partial shade.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, but avoid soggy conditions. Plant in well draining, nutrient rich soil. Amending with compost is recommended, especially in heavy or sandy soils.

Vase life: Changing the water in your vase everyday or every other day will increase vase life. Also recutting the stems every few days and removing the wilted florets. I can typically get 10-12 days if I follow my own rules.

If you live in a colder climate with a shorter growing season like me, I highly recommend pre-sprouting them in a tray with some water on a windowsill or under lights to start the process.

For best results, provide consistent moisture during active growth and consider light support in windy areas to keep tall stems upright.

Corms are packed loose (not in individual bundles) and will be carefully arranged to fit snugly in the box for safe transit.

On farm pick up will be available at check out. There is no set day, just send me an email to arrange a date you'd like to come out. 

*Shipping tip: For the most economical shipping option, up to 30 corms fit in our smallest box. Ordering within this range will help keep your shipping costs as low as possible. Shipping rates are calculated automatically at checkout through Canada Post based on your order size and location.

Shipping will begin mid April once temperatures here in Alberta are a bit more stable for safe transit.

*Due to export restrictions, these cannot be shipped outside of Canada.
