Spring Bulbs: Gladiolus

Oscar Gladiolus

The Gladiolus Oscar, `Gladiolus Oscar,' produces magnificent dark red flowers that grow on tall stalks. When planted in two-week intervals from early spring through June, the flowering period of this spring planted corm can be greatly increased. As the flowers begin to develop, water and fertilization should be increased. They should be planted four inches deep in clay soils and six inches deep in other types. The deeper the corm is planted, the less the plants will need to be staked. When the leaves turn yellow, the plants should be dug up, dipped in fungicide and stored in a dry location for the winter months. Gladiolas are sometimes called Sword Lily or Corn Flag.
